ICD-11 code : GA10.G;
Preferred Label : Thoracic endometriosis;
ICD-11 definition : Thoracic endometriosis lesions can affect the diaphragm, pleura, lung and bronchi.
There may be a greater affinity for the right hemi thorax, and the parenchyma is more
commonly affected in the lower lobes. Macroscopically, the endometriotic implants
appear as brown–yellow and sometimes red nodules surrounded by neovascularization.
Symptoms include: dyspnea, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, coughing up blood
and a variety of pain patterns to include scapula, chest, ipsilateral neck and shoulder,
upper abdominal and epigastric. Thoracic endometriosis may present with catamenial
pneumothorax (recurrent pneumothorax occurring within 72 hours of menstruation), haemoptysis
in case of bronchial location, haemothorax, pericardial effusions. A diagnosis of
thoracic endometriosis is simple when both endometrial stroma and gland are present.
In cases of endometriosis with stroma only, a further classification of aggregated
pattern, in which immunohistochemistry is ER-, PR- and CD10-positive might be necessary
for diagnosis.;
