Fulltext PDFEndometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to endometrium is found outside uterus, often in the pelvic area. This misplaced tissue can cause inflammation, pain and formation of scar tissue. Superficial endometriosis is a form of endometriosis where patches are thin usually < 5mm on the peritoneum. The actual prevalence of superficial endometriosis is not known. However, it is considered the most common subtype of endometriosis. The diagnosis of superficial endometriosis remains difficult. In fact, little is known about the ultrasound features of superficial endometriotic lesions. They can take different forms. Sometimes they are active red lesions very similar to endometrium. Often, they appear brownish or black testifying to an old haemorrhage, others are whitish, reflecting a healing process. In this article I am reviewing the literature to find out if we should follow see and treat approach if we see superficial endometriosis and do it improve pain and subfertility?
