===Associated tumours=== | |||
Endometriosis is associated with gynecologic tumours: | |||

===Pathophysiology=== | |||
There are several theories for endometriosis, i.e. how it is that endometrial tissue gets found outside of the uterus: | |||
*Retrograde menstruation - probably the most common.<ref name=pmid3945444/> | |||
