A 32-year-old nulligravid woman comes to the physician because she has not been able to conceive for 2 years. She has a 3-year history of pelvic pain and dyspareunia. Pelvic examination shows enlargement of the left adnexa and nodularity of the cul-de-sac. Laparoscopy shows dark areas 3 to 5 mm in diameter throughout the cul-de-sac. The left adnexa are covered by adhesions and cannot be visualized. A biopsy specimen of the cul-de-sac lesion is most likely to show which of the following?
A. Adenocarcinoma
B. Endometrial glands and stroma
C. Epithelial inclusion cysts
D. Granuloma
E. Mesothelial tumor

actually, i did think of endometriosis at first but, changed it to epithelial cysts thinking of the dark areas in the culde sac.
But endometriosis does seem right b/c she had pelvic pain, and maybe surgery was done previously to treat it.
