摘要
A case is presented of massive ascites and right sided pleural effusion caused by endometriosis. The final diagnosis was not. made for a considerable time. Massive ascites and a right sided pleural effusion caused by endometriosis is rare, with fewer than 10 reports in the literature worldwide. Physicians should be aware of this potentially treatable cause, having excluded other possibilities such as malignancy and tuberculosis.
