“…The reported incidence of endometriosis in the inguinal region is 0.8%, with one-half of these cases involving extraperitoneal structures [10]. The intra-and extraperitoneal portion of the round ligament, hernia sacs, skin, and scars has been cited as regions of endometrial involvement in the groin [1,5,10,14]. Clausen reported 30 cases of endometriosis in the inguinal area, which were often associated with an inguinal hernia [4], and Miranda reported another 25 cases [11].…”

An unusual case of endometriosis involving the right round ligament in a 40-yearold woman is presented. After giving birth to two children, she first noticed a tender mass in the right groin at the age of 36. It didn't change in size but pain appeared at the age of 38, disturbing her daily life. A poorly circumscribed elastic hard mass, measuring 3cm in diameter, was palpable in her right inguinal region. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a 2×3 cm mass in the right inguinal canal. At operation, a mass was found to be in continuity with the round ligament at the inguinal canal. Histological diagnosis was endometriosis. After operation, she was completely relieved of pain. It is important to include endometriosis in the differential diagnosis for painful inguinal masses in women of childbearing age.

“…La teoría mas aceptada considera la regurgitación menstrual transtubaria, con implantación de células glandulares y de estroma endometrial en la serosa de órganos pélvicos y abdominales (1,10) . Alternativamente, el crecimiento extrauterino de tejido endometrial pudiera ocurrir por transformación metaplástica de mesotelio pluripotencial peritoneal.…”

“…The classification proposed in 1989 classified extra genital endometriosis into Class I involving the intestinal tract, Class U involving the urinary tract, Class L involving all other sites including skin and nervous tissue. 7 AWE falls into the category of Class L. The endometrial tissue grows invasively into the subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Due to its infiltrative tendency it gives rise to pronounced fibrotic adhesions which can be misinterpreted as a neoplastic tumor.…”
