Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare cause of spontaneous pneumothorax in women of reproductive age and one of the thoracic endometriosis manifestations. Researchers have shown an increased interest in catamenial pneumothorax but a clear treatment strategy for this pathology has not been developed yet. The thoracoscopic revision of the pleural cavity, as well as the identification and subsequent histological verification of ectopic endometriosis foci, play a crucial role in patient management. This case report describes the successful treat-ment of a patient with recurrent catamenial tension pneumothorax and following multidisciplinary analysis. Keywords: catamenial pneumothorax, thoracic endometriosis, histological examination
