Abstract
Endometriosis is a disease that affects women of childbearing age. Pelvic endometriosis is much more common than Extrapelvic and is usually associated with a scar gynecological surgery, while endometriosis associated with groin hernias is an exceptional event. We report a 38-year-old woman, who consulted for a right painful groin lump. The MRI showed a lesion suggestive of cystic lymphangioma. At surgery a cystic tumor associated with incarcerated femoral hernia was found. After radical excision of the tumor hernia repair was performed. Histological study showed an endometrial tumor. After 6 months follow-up the patient is free of disease. Clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and differential diagnosis of this condition are discussed.
