"However, it is unclear whether this observation is a local phenomenon or a sign of systemic disease. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study to investigate the occurrence of endometriosis in pelvic sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with DIE. Fourteen patients underwent primary surgery for symptomatic DIE. Combined vaginal laparoscopic-assisted resection of the rectovaginal septum was performed. Dye was injected into the visible/palpable nodule. SLNs were removed from the iliac region. In order to identify endometriotic cells, immunohistochemical analysis of estrogen and progestogen receptors, CD10 and cytokeratin was performed. In 12 out of 14 patients with DIE, SLNs were detected. The localization of the SLN followed the typical LN spread of the upper vagina. In three patients, we could detect typical endometriotic lesions in the LNs. Ten out of 12 (83.3%) SLNs showed disseminated estrogen and/or progestogen positive cells," wrote S. Mechsner ...
