HighlightsThe diagnosis of thoracic endometriosis is complicated, because it has no specific symptoms and signs, and often delayed. TES should be suspected in a reproductive age woman with exacerbating symptoms during the menstruation.TES treatment should be started with medicine. If medical therapy fails, surgical treatment should be performed.Our case report shows that TES may be the cause of dangerous situation when an urgent operation must be performed. It is the first case of TES that has required urgent surgical treatment in our hospital in past fifteen years. Not all clinicians know that TES sometimes might complicate to pneumothorax or massive bleeding, which might cost a patient’s life. We suggest performing VATS as soon as possible for reproductive age woman with unknown aetiology of pneumothorax or haemothorax to find out the lesions in pleural cavity and start appropriate treatment on time.

Endometriosis is very common in reproductive age group. Since it is an estrogen dependent problem it is generally believed that it denotes “active ovarian function” and is “healed” after menopause. Most commonly endometrial tissue is found in ovaries resulting in the formation of chocolate cysts but it can also be found in extrapelvic sites. In this case report we will discuss endometriosis after menopause. Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare form of thoracic endometriosis. We describe a case of a 54-year-old woman with surgical menopause with recurrent episodes of haemoptysis, chest pain and dyspnea. Her Chest CT revealed multiple small pulmonary nodules. Biopsy from left lung lesion suggested endometriosis.
