This paper reports a rare case of extrapelvic endometriosis in which an endometrioma was found in the body of the gluteus minimus muscle. At the time of excision, the authors describe surgical implantation of endometrial tissue into the wound. The main limitation is that the report provides a single case description rather than generalizable data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents an endometrioma in the gluteus muscle and describes intra-wound implantation at excision.

Abstract

Intrapelvic endometriosis is a fairly common condition affecting women during their reproductive years. Extrapelvic disease is, however, very rare. We report a case where an endometrioma was found in the body of the gluteus minimus muscle, and endometrial tissue was implanted in the wound at the time of excision.
