Endometriosis in the groin is a rare condition which may cause diagnostic problems. It occurs in women of reproductive age and it often takes several years before the correct diagnosis is made. The condition is found most often in association with ligamentum rotundum. Lesions may be dark or pale, hard or rubbery, and often infiltrate surrounding tissue. Treatment is surgical excision. The author describes four cases seen in the course of two years. They illustrate the typical features of this condition and were diagnosed by exploratory surgery. Endometriosis in the groin may be less rare than previously assumed, and early surgical exploration is recommended in women with a painful lump in the inguinal region.
腹股沟子宫内膜异位症是一种罕见的疾病，可能会导致诊断困难。它发生在育龄女性中，通常需要数年时间才能做出正确诊断。这种疾病最常与圆韧带相关。病变可能呈深色或浅色，质地硬或似橡胶，且常浸润周围组织。治疗方法是手术切除。作者描述了在两年内见到的4例病例。它们说明了这种疾病的典型特征，并通过探查性手术得以确诊。腹股沟子宫内膜异位症可能比之前认为的更为常见，对于腹股沟区有疼痛性肿块的女性，建议早期进行手术探查。
