This case report describes a twelve-year-old girl who developed a painful vulvar mass three months after menarche, following an episode of trauma. The authors propose that the condition resulted from the direct implantation of endometrial cells into the vulvar tissue during menstruation, leading to cyclical swelling and pain. Surgical excision was performed and recommended as the definitive treatment for this rare presentation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the uncommon occurrence of post-traumatic vulvar endometriosis in a pediatric patient.

Abstract

We report a case of vulvar endometriosis presenting as a vulvar mass following trauma in a 12 years old, 3 months post-menarcheal girl. The presumptive etiology is the direct implantation of endometrial cells. Painful swelling of the vulvar mass appeared gradually during menses. Excision of suspected vulvar endometriosis is suggested as the definite treatment.
