This paper is a case report describing perineal scar endometriosis occurring in an episiotomy scar after forceps vaginal delivery, focusing on the clinical presentation and the diagnostic and management approach used for this rare manifestation. The authors highlight that endometriosis in perineal episiotomy scars is uncommon compared with other surgical-scar sites, and they review relevant prior reports to contextualize the case. A key limitation is that, as a single case report, it cannot establish prevalence or generalizable risk factors, and the manuscript does not provide an extensive study design beyond narrative discussion. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically episiotomy (perineal scar) endometriosis after forceps vaginal delivery.
