This paper reports a single case of extrapelvic endometriosis presenting as a vulvar endometrioma in a 47-year-old woman with a vulvar mass that periodically swelled during menstruation. The authors describe surgical management in which the cyst ruptured and released chocolate-colored fluid, followed by total extirpation, with histopathology confirming findings compatible with endometriosis. The main limitation is that the evidence is based on one case report with only short follow-up (three weeks), without broader analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically describes a vulvar endometrioma confirmed by pathology.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a benign and common disorder that is characterized by ectopic endometrium outside the uterus. Extrapelvic endometriosis, like of the vulva, is rarely seen. We report a case of a 47-year-old woman referred to our clinic due to complaints of a vulvar mass and periodic swelling of the mass at the time of menstruation. During surgery, the cyst ruptured and a chocolate-colored liquid escaped onto the surgical field. The cyst was extirpated totally. Hipstopathological examination showed findings compatible with endometriosis. She was asked to follow-up after three weeks. The patient had no complaints and the incision field was clear at the follow-up.
