Afecta del 10 % al 20 % de las mujeres en edad reproductiva. La ascitis es la acumulación patológica de líquido dentro de la cavidad peritoneal. La ocurrencia de ascitis secundaria a endometriosis se encuentra raramente y aparece más a menudo en mujeres nulíparas de piel negra.  Objetivo: Presentar el caso de una paciente a quien se le practicó laparotomía exploradora electiva por ascitis secundaria a endometriosis.  Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 30 años de edad, color de piel negra, con antecedentes de infertilidad primaria. Atendida en consulta de ginecología por aumento de volumen y molestias abdominales de varios meses de evolución; se detectó ascitis y una masa anexial izquierda. Se realizó laparotomía y se constató ascitis hemorrágica, adherencias pélvicas y quiste de ovario izquierdo. Se realizó aspiración del líquido ascítico, anexectomía y biopsia de epiplón y ombligo. El diagnostico histológico informó endometriosis anexial de ombligo y epiplón. Se indicó tratamiento con danazol y evolucionó satisfactoriamente sin más ascitis.  Conclusiones:  La asociación ascitis-endometriosis es muy rara. Es una entidad infrecuente que afecta mayormente a mujeres nulíparas, en edad fértil y de color de la piel negra. Imita un tumor ginecológico y rara vez se reconoce antes de la exploración quirúrgica del abdomen, por lo que se hace necesario su estudio para lograr un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction: Endometriosis is a benign, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the existence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects 10-20 % of women of reproductive age. Ascites is the pathological accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity. The occurrence of ascites secondary to endometriosis is rarely found and appears more often in black nulliparous females.  Objective: To present a patient who underwent elective exploratory laparotomy for ascites secondary to endometriosis.  Clinical case: 30-year-old female patient, black skin color, with a history of primary infertility. Attended in Gynecology consultation for presenting increase in volume and abdominal discomfort of several months of evolution; detecting ascites and a left adnexal mass. Laparomoty was performed, finding hemorrhagic ascites, pelvic adhesions, and a left ovarian cyst. Ascites fluid aspiration, adnexectomy and biopsy of omentum, and umbilicus were performed. The histological diagnosis reported adnexal endometriosis, umbilicus and omentum. Treatment with danazol was indicated and she had a satisfactory evolution without further ascites.  Conclusions: The ascites-endometriosis association is very rare. It is an infrequent entity that mainly affects nulliparous women, of childbearing age and of black skin color. It mimics a gynecologic malignancy and is rarely recognized prior to surgical exploration of the abdomen. Therefore, its study is necessary to achieve a timely diagnosis and treatment.]]></p></abstract>
