When tissue that normally lines a woman's uterus grows outside of the uterus, it is known as endometriosis. At the end of the cycle, this tissue will disintegrate and bleed just like regular uterine tissue does. The blood, however, has nowhere to go. Areas nearby could swell up or become inflamed. Lesions and scar tissue could be present. Your ovaries are where endometriosis is most prevalent. Endometriosis types According to where it is, there are three main types of endometriosis: Lesion of the superficial peritoneum. The most typical kind is this one. Your peritoneum, a thin layer that lines your pelvic cavity, has lesions. Endometrial cancer (ovarian lesion). These cysts, also known as chocolate cysts, develop deep within your ovaries and are black and fluid-filled. They can harm good tissue and don't react well to treatment.
