Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue apart from its usual location (endometrium). It is the second most prevalent benign gynaecologic disease in women ofchild bearing age (incidence of 10-25). Endometriosis predominantly located on peritoneal surfaces, but also affects the vagina , vulva, recto-vaginal septum and perineum, usually secondary to surgicalor obstetric trauma. We present a case of a patient with perineal endometriosis who presented withvulvodynia and perineal swelling in the scar of episiotomy within 2 years of childbirth. Excision ofendometriotic nodule was done and histopathological examination confirmed scar endometriosis. Surgical outcome was successful and the patient was asymptomatic during subsequentmenstruations and there was no recurrence.
