Endometriosis in Episiotomy Sar Involving Anal Sphincter.
A case of endometriosis in an episiotomy scar involving the anal sphincter required tumor excision and sphincteroplasty, with literature review suggesting a single-stage proctoplasty is feasible.

The paper reports a single 36-year-old woman with episiotomy-site endometriosis that extended into the anal sphincter after childbirth, presenting as a perineal lump that enlarged and caused swelling and pain around and after menstruation. After biopsy diagnosed perineal endometriosis, she received 6 months of hormonal therapy and then underwent tumor excision that included part of the external anal sphincter, followed by sphincter reconstruction. Histology confirmed ectopic endometriosis involving the sphincter, and the authors note that such cases are very rare and that complete excision may be required, enabling one-stage sphincter formation. The paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, anal sphincter–involving perineal (episiotomy scar) endometriosis.
