Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease defined by extrauterine growth of endometrial glands and stroma. A variety of theories have been proposed to account for the pathogenesis of this disease, including retrograde transplantation theory, metaplasia of coelomic epithelium, hematogenic and lymphogenic spread, and remnants of the Mŭllerian duct. However, the etiopathology of endometriosis is still obscure. In this article, we aim to summarize recent researches concerning the growth mechanisms of endometriotic cells in implanted sites systematically, including the adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis, proliferation, apoptosis of endometriotic cells, variations of the immune molecules and endometriotic cells themselves, which may provide clues for future researches in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
