Ugh. It’s vexing to us in radiology because these things are flat and essentially invisible basically all the time on imaging. But super easy to see with your eyeballs if you look inside because of the color. Not that cutting everything out is some sort of panacea though.

Complex issue without easy answers. You have my sympathy.

As a curious thing to know, the lining of the fallopian tubes and the muscle of the uterine wall can also metastasize in a non-cancerous fashion like endometrial implants do…called endosalpingiosis and benign metastasizing uterine fibroids. I find it interesting that the organ responsible for permitting babies, something that the body would otherwise see as a parasite or something like an organ transplant, is also the tissue that sometimes shows up in unexpected places.
