Abstract：Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecologic disease,the prevalence is 10%-15%,and still rising. But the pathogenesis remain unclear. In the multitudinous hypothesis ,the immune theory has drawn more and more attention ,and become a hot research. Recently ,many studies demonstrate that EMs is an immune inflammatory disease. In abdominal cavity , the change of immune cells (macrophages,NK cells,T cells,DC,mast cells) quantity and function can enhance the ability of endometrial cell invasion,adhesion,proliferation,angiogenesis,promote the ectopic lesions growth and maintenance,and made the endometrial cells that reverse into abdominal cavity to escape from immune surveillance.
