The comparison to cancer is honestly kind of chilling. The fact that endometriosis lesions pick up the same mutations, adapt to evade the immune system, and yet are considered "benign" is such a medical blind spot

There are probably other pluripotent cell types that do the exact same thing, but just don't get detected since very few cell types slough off with a hormonal cycle.
There are probably many more instances of this disease in men that never get triggered and discovered due to atypical hormonal levels being required.
Our bodies are weird systems.
