Inguinal endometriosis

Abstract: In this report we presented three cases of inguinal endometriosis all of which were thought to be inguinal hernia preoperatively. They were diagnosed during the operation for inguinal hernia repair and treated with simple excision of the lesions with a part of the round ligament.

“…In patients with suspected endometriosis of the abdominal wall, the anterior saturation bands need to be displaced to avoid hiding the lesions, which are often partially covered by the bands placed over the anterior subcutaneous fat. Other sub-or retroperitoneal lesion locations, such as subcutaneaous fat in the fossa ischio-rectalis, at the sciatic nerve, the round ligament, or within lymph nodes have been described [57][58][59]. Other rare locations include endometriosis in the Nuck canal [60] or the vulva [61,62].…”

“…It has been reported that IEM can form at various sites including hernia sacs [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], Nuck's canal [14][15][16][17], the round ligament [3-7, 13, 18-22], and groin skin [23]. However, because most of these are case reports, the clinical characteristics associated with the site of IEM occurrence and the optimal diagnostic or therapeutic strategies have not been compared.…”

“…The importance of biopsy for correct diagnosis should be stressed. Furthermore, if clinical history including periodic pain cycle and MRI can suggest a possibility of endometriosis, excisional biopsy should be done with a wide margin, since operative scar has a potential to be an endometriosis [3][4][5]. Proliferation of fibrous tissue, gland structures consisting of cylindrical epithelium, and immunohistochemical positive reaction for estrogen can be helpful for the diagnosis of endometriosis [14].…”
