Is it true that endometriosis lesions visually appear white under certain diagnostic conditions?

Yes. Endometriosis lesions can indeed present visually as white (along with other colors such as red and black) during surgical inspection.

The analysis

The claim is a specific, falsifiable empirical statement regarding the visual characteristics of endometriosis lesions. Retrieved papers (specifically papers 6 and 7) explicitly document white peritoneal and superficial endometriosis lesions as part of standard visual classification schemas during laparoscopic assessment. Therefore, the claim is supported by the literature.
