  1. Only cases whose DIE lesions could be identified at least in the 12 weeks’ assessment are included in the table.
  2. Cases are not reported in numerical order because we first presented women who also had a decidualized endometrioma and we wanted to respect the numbering given in Supplemental Table 1. From case 7 to case 13, women did not have decidualized endometriomas. From case 14 onwards, women did not carry endometriomas at all.
  3. CS color score.
  4. Mean diameter of the lesions is reported in mm. Median diameter is presented with the interquartile range.
