“Histologically, endometriotic lesions are quite diverse. Clement (2007) first emphasized the presence of both epithelial and stromal cell types, while Greaves et al. (2017) showed how this tissue recruits immune cells that create a chronic inflammatory environment. Forster et al. (2019) expanded on this by linking vascularization to lesion growth,... See more

Additionally, lesions are infiltrated by blood vessels,... See more
