Endometriosis Unusual Aetiology Of Inguinal Swelling

Rev Port Cir Cardiotorac Vasc. 2020 Jul-Sep;27(3):237.

Abstract

A 42 years-old female presented with right inguinal swelling with one year of evolution. Magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of inguinal endometriosis adherent to femoral vessels. Due to the rarity of this pathology (prevalence 0.3-0.6%), clinical suspicion is essential. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice.
