It is very important to take into account this disease entity in the differential diagnosis of patient in fertile age, attending to consultation due to chronic pelvic pain of not specified origin. In this way and with the systematic use of transvaginal ultrasound in these cases, it will be possible to made an early diagnosis and will be applied a timely treatment from which the combined modality, the minimal access surgery and hormonal therapy is the more used nowadays.
