Abstract
Objective: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Skin involvement is a rare presentation of this common complication. The purpose of this study is to introduce a markedly atypical case of the skin endometriosis with periodic pains located between the breasts of the 24-year-old girl. Care report: In this case, the patient with unknown periodic discharges and painful lesion presented in different consulting diagnostics centers for her complaint. After various diagnostic procedures and treatments, she underwent an excision biopsy to evaluate endometriosis. The history of periodic fluid findings of this case aid to indicate endometriosis. This case also emphasizes the significance of suspecting not only the atypical locations of endometriosis but also presentations of endometriosis. Follow-up tests indicated that she was risk-free of endometriosis relapsing status. Conclusion: The atypical endometriosis sites can present with varied ranges of symptoms, especially ones occurred periodically with menses in young females.
