It is a chronic disease found most commonly in women of reproductive age. In this study, we present a rare case of endometriosis which presented as a mass in the episiotomy scar tissues. A 35-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic with a complaint of painful swelling in the perineal region since 3 months. During physical examination, we palpated a painful mass and performed ultrasonography (USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which revealed a fistula tract. The mass was surgically resected and the histopathologic examination of the mass confirmed perineal endometrioma in an episiotomy scar.\nKeywords:\nEndometriosis, episiotomy, perineal pain","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
