This case report describes a 41-year-old multiparous woman with a right inguinal mass that developed and enlarged over about 8 months, with pain and swelling that increased during menstruation and decreased between periods. After clinical suspicion of inguinal endometriosis, the authors administered a GnRH analog for 1.5 months, then performed surgical excision of the inguinal tumor; postoperative pathology confirmed ectopic endometriosis. The paper notes a postoperative wound edema that improved by the first week and reports an overall good course, but as a single case it provides limited generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically a case of inguinal (extra-pelvic) endometriosis presenting as a lymph node–like mass.
