[Extragenital endometriosis].

Parietal, appendiceal, pleuropulmonary and diaphragmatic endometriosis represent 5% of endometriosis cases. Diagnosis and management of these extra-genital localisations are described according to the literature. Parietal endometriosis usually requires large resection of the tumor. Appendiceal endometriosis is frequently observed in cases of digestive endometriosis. Induration or rigidity of the appendix due to the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis justifies appendicectomy. Thoracic and diaphragmatic endometriosis is characterized by the presence of typical symptoms during the perimenstrual periode. Medical treatment obtaining therapeutic amenorrhea is firstly administered and surgery is indicated in cases of symptoms recurrence.
