Extrauterine endometriosis is a rare disease that affects women of childbearing age. The pleural cavity is one of the most common locations of this type of disease and the place where recurrent pneumothorax followed by haemothorax most frequently occur. Paren chymal involvement and haemothorax aren’t very frequent1. We present the case of a woman of childbearing age with haemothorax due to pleural endometriosis.
