Abstract

Cutaneous endometriosis is not a very often seen condition and is broadly classified as primary (spontaneous) and secondary. While perineal endometriosis arising in a previous scar has been reported, spontaneous cutaneous endometriosis in perineum is extremely rare and only three cases occurring in mons pubis have been reported in literature. We report a case of 34-year-old lady presented with a swelling in pubic region and associated dull aching pain of 1-year duration with no history of cyclical variation of symptoms. Investigations finally concluded a diagnosis of endometriosis and a Complete excision with clear margins. Clinicians should be aware that a spontaneous endometriosis in the perineum can occur and can have atypical presentation with no increase in size or pain during menstruation.
