This paper reports an unusual case of a woman with a painful anterolateral thigh mass in the vastus lateralis muscle whose symptoms waxed and waned with menses. Using MRI, the lesion was initially interpreted as possible sequelae of prior trauma or a small fibrous tumor based on signal characteristics and a rim pattern with surrounding edema. Excisional biopsy, however, demonstrated endometrial tissue, leading to a diagnosis of intramuscular endometriosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents endometriosis presenting as a mass in the vastus lateralis muscle.
