This paper describes spontaneous cutaneous endometriosis as a diagnostic challenge in plastic surgery, focusing on recognizing and interpreting skin lesions arising without an obvious surgical trigger. The authors present the case context in which clinicians must distinguish endometriosis-related lesions from other diagnoses encountered in plastic and reconstructive settings. The key message is that cutaneous endometriosis can present in ways that are easily mistaken, requiring careful consideration of this condition in the differential diagnosis for suspicious skin findings. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically addresses spontaneous cutaneous (skin) endometriosis and its diagnostic difficulty in plastic surgery.
