This surgical image report describes a 42-year-old woman with a one-year history of right inguinal swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested inguinal endometriosis adherent to the femoral vessels, highlighting the need for clinical suspicion given the reported rarity of this presentation (0.3–0.6%); the authors identify surgical excision as the treatment of choice. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — an unusual inguinal presentation causing localized swelling.

Abstract

A 42 years-old female presented with right inguinal swelling with one year of evolution. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of inguinal endometriosis adherent to femoral vessels. Due to the rarity of this pathology (prevalence 0.3-0.6%), clinical suspicion is essential. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
