Endometriosis is a common clinical presentation for gynaecologists. Occasionally it can present to general surgeons as a swelling in the groin or abdominal wall. This condition should be included in the differential diagnosis in female patients. A 32-year-old woman with a 2-year history of a painful persistent lump in her right groin was referred to the general surgeons by her general practitioner. She was referred with a diagnosis of a suspected inguinal hernia. MRI excluded a hernia and exploration of the groin and subsequent histology confirmed the lesion to be an endometrial deposit.
子宫内膜异位症是妇科医生常见的临床病症。偶尔，它也会以腹股沟或腹壁肿物的形式出现在普通外科医生面前。在女性患者的鉴别诊断中应考虑到这种病症。一名32岁女性，右腹股沟处有一个持续疼痛的肿块，病史2年，由全科医生转诊至普通外科医生处。她被转诊时诊断为疑似腹股沟疝。磁共振成像（MRI）排除了疝的可能，对腹股沟进行探查及后续组织学检查证实该病变为子宫内膜沉积物。
