"Endometriosis can be hidden within adhesions (Sampson, 1921) or behind pelvic foreign bodies.
"Endometriosis was found in 39% to 50% of adhesions. This was frequently at the base of adhesions when the peritoneum was resected.
"Furthermore, endometriosis was hidden behind carbon in 16% of patients and behind suture in some patients.
Adhesions must be lysed for complete examination. Cancer has been found behind adhesions and associated with endometriosis."
