Occult retrocervical endometriosis. A case report.

BACKGROUND: The retrocervical area of the pelvis is a particularly strategic location for dyspareunia-producing endometriotic lesions. Because this area is often hidden from view by the cervical bulge, it is necessary that close attention be paid to locating occult disease. CASE: A 35-year-old, white female underwent repeat laparoscopy for persistent dyspareunia. Occult retrocervical disease was found and exercised. CONCLUSION: Incomplete treatment may result if this area is not examined and biopsied.
