A Case of Cutaneous Endometriosis in the Episiotomy Scar / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Endometriosis is defined as the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, but in rare cases may also occur on the skin. Cutaneous endometriosis frequently develops at the site of a prior abdominal or pelvic procedure, although apparent spontaneous occurrence has been reported. We present a case of non-symptomatic, cutaneous endometriosis in the episiotomy scar. The patient had no evidence of concurrent pelvic endometriosis.
