Abstract
The presence of ectopic endometrial and myometrial tissue is referred to as endometriosis. The majority of cases of inguinal endometriosis are linked to prior uterine surgery. We present a 39-year-old female presented to the general surgery clinic in June 2013 with mild right inguinal pain and swelling. Enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdominal and pelvis revealed an elongated cystic mass in the right groin region. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed and the uterus, both ovaries, and pouch of Douglas were examined. Two endometrial deposits were detected: on in the superoposteriar part of the uterus and another below the base of the right fallopian tube. In addition to the right inguinal hernia, a cystic lesion was noted on the surface of the round ligament. The entire round ligament, including the canal of Nuck, and cyst were dissected and excised completely. The right inguinal hernia was repaired.
