Zusammenfassung:	In a general aspect, methods and devices are provided for using mass spectrometry to identify endometriosis. In some aspects, a fixed or discrete volume of a solvent is applied to a tissue site including possible endometriosis tissue. The applied solvent is collected to obtain a liquid sample. The liquid sample is subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. The liquid sample is collected from a tissue site in vivo during a medical procedure. The mass spectrometry data are analyzed to identify whether the tissue site comprises endometriosis.
