Abstract

Endometriosis is a benign disorder and characterized by ectopic endometrium like tissues outside the uterus. We report a case of a 31 year-old woman referred to our clinic due to complaints of a vulvar and umbilical mass and periodic swelling with pain of the mass at the time of menstruation. The cyst was removed totally. Histopathological examination showed findings compatible with endometriosis in both. We have treated them with suppressive treatment with Depot Medroxy Progesterone Acetate (DMPA) and after six months patient was completely asymptomatic.
