These data demonstrate considerable diversity in the presence of immune cells and morphology of SMA and collagen within, but even more so, surrounding endometriotic lesions, even within individual patients. This heterogeneity, especially within individual patients, presents a challenge to incorporating these cell and tissue types into any new endometriosis classification systems or prognostic approaches.
