Abstract
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign disease that generally affects women at childbearing age. Despite its high incidence, pathogenesis of endometriosis is poorly clarified. There are several theories explaining the mechanism of disease such as retrograde menstruation, coelomic metaplasia, vascular and lymphatic metastasis. While endometriosis has been described in many intra- and extra-abdominal organs including the ovaries, omentum, colon, liver, lungs and brain, parenchymal splenic endometriosis is a rare situation. In recent years, with reported cases, this rare condition came onto the scene. We also wanted to present our case and question the idea of splenic immunity against endometriosis according to current literature. From now on, splenic endometriosis can be thought of as a differential diagnosis for unidentified lesions of spleen.
