Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-type mucosa outside the uterine cavity. Several theories have been proposed during the last 20 years to explain the disease pathogenesis; however, a unique consensus has not yet been established. Although the most recent pathogenic theory is based on inflammatory causes [1], hormonal influence is certainly involved not only in the endometriosis pathogenesis but also in its development and progression [2].

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-type mucosa outside the uterine cavity. Several theories have been proposed during the last 20 years to explain the disease pathogenesis; however, a unique consensus has not yet been established. Although the most recent pathogenic theory is based on inflammatory causes [1], hormonal influence is certainly involved not only in the endometriosis pathogenesis but also in its development and progression [2].
