Abstract
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of endometriosis in para-aortic lymph nodes. Its presence supports the hypothesis that endometriosis travels lymphatically, and not simply via locoregional spread. Lymphatic spread also further supports the theory that endometriosis is an aggressive chronic systemic disease.
