This paper reports a rare clinical case of endometriosis arising in an episiotomy scar. The authors describe the presentation and diagnostic workup as a case report, with the endometriotic lesion localized to the perineal surgical scar site. As a single-case report, the main limitation is that it cannot establish prevalence, risk factors, or generalizable treatment outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically episiotomy scar (perineal) endometriosis.
