Abstract
Our results suggest that direct MS may play an important role for endometriotic tissue identification. Such an approach has potential usefulness for real-time tissue determination and differentiation during surgical treatment. Lipids of 3 important classes, sphingolipids, phospholipids, and the fatty acids (di- and triglycerides), were identified. Validation is required to determine whether these lipids can be used to discriminate between patients with endometriosis and those with other gynecologic diseases.
