This 2017 case report describes a 42-year-old nulliparous Caucasian woman with a painful right groin bulging mass that worsened with standing and heavy lifting and had inguinal pain exacerbation during ovulation. She underwent surgery in which a nodule consistent with inguinal endometriosis was widely excised, and both direct and indirect hernia sacs were identified, dissected, reduced, and excised. Four months postoperatively, she was symptom-free with no signs of recurrence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically concomitant inguinal endometriosis occurring together with a groin hernia.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a condition which affects women during their reproductive age. We present the case of a 42 years old Caucasian nulliparous woman accusing in the last three months a painful bulging mass in the right groin. The patient reported that the mass increases in size during prolonged standing and lifting of heavyweights. In addition, the inguinal pain was exacerbated during ovulation. The patient underwent surgery, during which wide excision of the nodule was performed. Furthermore, both direct and indirect hernia sacs were found and dissected, the content was reduced and the sacs were excised. Four months after the surgery, the patient was free of symptoms and had no signs of recurrence.
