This case report details an isolated inguinal endometriosis patient, finding no pelvic endometriosis, and suggests lymphatic spread of endometrial cells as a likely pathogenesis for such lesions.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

The case of a patient with inguinal isolated endometriosis in whom laparoscopy revealed no evidence of pelvic endometriosis is presented. Following the observation of this case and the published reports by other authors on frequency, pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy, the article supports the hypothesis that inguinal endometriotic lesions are likely associated with lymphatic spread of endometrial cells.
