Abstract

Hepatic endometriosis is a very rare condition that is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue within the hepatic parenchyma. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult through cross-sectional imaging. Histopathologic evaluation remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Until now only a handful of cases have been reported in medical literature. We report a case of hepatic endometriosis in a 24-year-old, unmarried girl with a history of recurrent hepatic cysts in the right lobe of the liver after two previous surgeries. She underwent a right hepatectomy. The diagnosis was confirmed through histopathology assessment.
