This case report describes a histologically confirmed instance of endometriosis located within the deep musculature of the thigh. The authors utilized CT and MR imaging to evaluate the lesion, which initially presented as a soft tissue tumor. They note that while extra-abdominal endometriosis is rare, periodic symptom exacerbation during menstruation is a key diagnostic clue. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically an unusual extrapelvic presentation mimicking a soft tissue mass in the thigh.

Abstract

A histologically documented case of endometriosis within the deep musculature of the thigh is presented. Although occurrence of endometriosis outside the abdomen is rare, characteristic periodic exacerbation of symptoms at the time of menstruation should suggest the correct diagnosis.
