Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition influenced by estrogen, marked by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity.It affects adolescent girls and women of reproductive age, as well as those who are post-menopausal, leading to symptoms that can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, significantly impacting quality of life.While it has traditionally been viewed as a pelvic disorder, there is a growing recognition of extra-pelvic manifestations.One such manifestation is cutaneous endometriosis, where ectopic endometrial tissue appears in the skin, often as a result of surgical scars.These rare cases complicate both diagnosis and management strategies.This series highlights instances of extra-pelvic cutaneous endometriosis treated at our institution, underscoring the complexities of this challenging condition.
