Abstract
Endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain is one of the most i ndications for gynecological pelviscopy. The differential diagnosis of chronic appendicitis is difficult to the similar symptoms, chronic co urse of both diseases and the increase of an earlier diagnosis of endo metriosis concerning the age of women. The meticulous inspection of th e whole abdominal cavity is necessary to exclude not only surgical dis eases but for evaluation of endometriotic lesions in the area of genit al and extragenital organs. Planning of hormone therapy and second-loo k pelviscopy should be performed by gynecologists.
