This paper reports a rare clinical case of endometriosis involving the round ligament of the uterus, using a case-report style description rather than a comparative study. The authors present the clinical scenario and contextualize it by drawing on previously published reports and the broader literature on endometriosis of the round ligament/inguinal region, noting diagnostic challenges. A key limitation is that the report is based on a single case with no systematic evaluation of prevalence, outcomes, or standardized diagnostic performance. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of the uterine round ligament.
