Abstract

Endometriosis is a condition where hormonal-responsive endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus usually within the pelvic cavity. Extra-abdominal endometriosis is less common and may involves the skin. Subcutaneous endometriosis is rare. We report the first case of spontaneous intergluteal cleft endometriosis revealed by pain and bleeding during menstruation.
