説明

<jats:p><jats:bold>Objective </jats:bold> To detect a direct transition from a haemorrhagic corpus luteum to an endometriotic cyst by serial transvaginal ultrasonographic scans.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design </jats:bold> Prospective observational study.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Setting </jats:bold> An academic tertiary care and referral centre for women with endometriosis.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Population </jats:bold> One hundred and nine women younger than 40 years, with regular menstrual cycles, undergoing first‐line surgery for endometriomas, and not wanting postoperative oral contraception.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods </jats:bold> Three‐monthly transvaginal ultrasonography during the luteal phase for 2 years after surgery.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Main outcome measure </jats:bold> Sonographic identification of progression from a haemorrhagic corpus luteum to a recurrent endometriotic cyst.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results </jats:bold> A haemorrhagic corpus luteum was identified in 13 women. Serial ultrasonographic scans demonstrated transition to an endometriotic cyst in 11 (85%) instances and resorption in two. A unilateral endometriotic cyst without previous detection of a cystic corpus luteum was observed in 14 women.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions </jats:bold> Bleeding from a corpus luteum appears to be a critical event in the development of endometriomas.</jats:p>
