Abstract

A 32-year old patient presented with an asymptomatic, non-specific tumour located at the site of a previous cesarian scar. The tumor had never bled but its size changed and the color and consistency varied coinciding with the menstrual cycle. The dermatopathologic study showed the existence of ectopic endometrial glandular tissue in the whole thickness of the reticular dermis.
