This chapter reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and surgical management of perineal endometriosis, a rare condition characterized by pain and palpable masses in the perineum. It emphasizes that accurate diagnosis often requires histopathological confirmation due to the non-specific nature of symptoms and the rarity of the disease compared to pelvic endometriosis. The authors outline various treatment strategies, primarily focusing on wide local excision with clear margins to prevent recurrence while preserving anatomical function. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically addressing the diagnosis and surgical treatment of perineal lesions.
