Core Tip	This case underscores the considerable diagnostic challenges associated with rare presentations of uterine adenomyosis and pulmonary endometriosis in adolescent patients. The clinical overlap with malignancy underscores the need for a high index of suspicion and a multidisciplinary approach to ensure accurate diagnosis and timely intervention. As demonstrated here, early surgical management combined with appropriate postoperative medical therapy can lead to favorable outcomes, even in the context of severe and atypical disease. Importantly, this case reinforces the necessity of including benign etiologies in the differential diagnosis of presumed advanced-stage malignancies, particularly in young female patients.
