Catamenial pneumothorax
Alifano, Marco
Purpose of review:
Although known for several decades,
catamenial pneumothorax has been
considered until recently as an extremely

Welcome to Catamenial Pneumothorax, hemopneumothorax, Hemothorax and Hemoptysis site for information. Catamenial Pneumothorax.org is a website dedicated to a worldwide outreach destination for patients and healthcare providers seeking news and information about Living with Lung and Colon Endometriosis.
Many cases of endometriosis have been reported within the chest in various sites: lung parenchyma, pleura, diaphragm, myocardium and bronchial tree. It has been referred to as Thoracic, Pulmonary, Extrapelvic, Ectopic and Lung Endometriosis. It was considered to be extremely rare, but new statistics reveal it is actually under recognized and under diagnosed.
Catamenial Pneumothorax.org discusses the secondary side effects caused by endometriosis attached to the lung and colon, but ectopic endometriosis has been found attached to many body organs. This is illustrated in my blog “Endometriosis Migration Organ Documentation” at http://blog.catamenialpneumothorax.org
or video “Lets Talk about Endometriosis.” 
We combine the latest medically sound research and information about living with the rare disease Lung and Colon Endometriosis.
