This case report and literature review examines the clinical management of extra-pelvic endometriosis, specifically focusing on a patient treated for a right groin mass at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The authors highlight that such presentations often occur in non-gynecological departments, necessitating increased clinical awareness and multidisciplinary collaboration for accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention. They argue that while rare, these extragenital lesions are not exceptionally uncommon and require specific diagnostic approaches to distinguish them from other conditions like hernias. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the diagnosis and surgical treatment of inguinal (extra-pelvic) endometriosis.

盆腔外子宫内膜异位症1例临床分析并文献复习 Clinical Analysis of 1 Case of Extra-Pelvic Endometriosis and Literature Review Clinical Analysis of 1 Case of Extra-Pelvic Endometriosis and Literature Review DOI: 10.12677/acm.2024.1441288, PDF, 被引量 作者: 爨晨晓, 刘 昱：青岛大学医学部，山东 青岛；韩 毅, 戴红英：青岛大学附属医院妇科，山东 青岛 关键词: 子宫内膜异位症；特殊部位；盆腔外；腹股沟；Endometriosis； Special Parts； External Pelvic； Inguinal 作者: 爨晨晓, 刘 昱：青岛大学医学部，山东 青岛；韩 毅, 戴红英：青岛大学附属医院妇科，山东 青岛 关键词: 子宫内膜异位症；特殊部位；盆腔外；腹股沟；Endometriosis； Special Parts； External Pelvic； Inguinal 摘要: 目的：为处理盆腔外子宫内膜异位症相关病例提供参考。病例：回顾了分析1例于青岛大学附属医院住院治疗的盆腔外子宫内膜异位症患者的临床资料，并对相关文献进行复习。该患者入院后完善相关辅助检查，行右侧腹股沟肿物切除术。结论：盆腔外子宫内膜异位症可能并不那么罕见，其及时诊断和适当治疗需要提高临床对这种疾病的认识。由于患者通常最初出现非妇科科室，多学科合作的方法是诊疗该病的关键。 Abstract: Objective: To provide reference for the management of extra-pelvic endometriosis. Cases: The clinical data of a patient with extra-pelvic endometriosis hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were reviewed and analyzed, and the relevant literature was reviewed. After admission, the patient underwent relevant auxiliary examination and resection of right groin mass. Conclusions: extra-pelvic endometriosis may not be all that rare, and its prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment require increased clinical awareness of this disease. Since patients often present in non-gynecological departments initially, multidisciplinary collaboration and approaches are the key to the management of the disease. 文章引用：爨晨晓, 刘昱, 韩毅, 戴红英. 盆腔外子宫内膜异位症1例临床分析并文献复习[J]. 临床医学进展, 2024, 14(4): 2242-2246. https://doi.org/10.12677/acm.2024.1441288 | [1] | Zondervan, K.T., Longo, D.L., Becker, C.M., et al.
