A Case Report of External Endometriosis in the External Hernia Sac
This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with a history of endometriosis who presented with a painful left inguinal mass that fluctuated with her menstrual cycle. Imaging revealed a multilocular cyst, and surgical excision confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue within the hernia sac via histopathological analysis. The patient underwent laparoscopic removal of ovarian endometriotic cysts and open repair of the inguinal hernia using the Marcy method, with no recurrence observed after twelve months. A review of sixteen Japanese cases indicated that endometriosis in the hernia sac is a relatively rare occurrence among inguinal endometriosis presentations. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically external endometriosis occurring within an inguinal hernia sac.
