Extragenital endometriosis is not a common occurrence. Its diagnosis is often delayed, which leads to further complications and recurrent hospitalizations. In this report, we present a case of a 37-year-old African American female diagnosed with thoracic endometriosis who initially presented with a two-week duration of progressive shortness of breath. The diagnosis of this patient posed a dilemma as there was initial suspicion of ovarian cancer and Meig's syndrome, which can have similar presentations.
