Endometriosis is a disorder that commonly affects females of reproductive age and is defined as the presence of endometrial glands or stroma outside the uterine cavity. Patients typically present with cyclical pain during menses. Endometriosis can be characterized as endopelvic or extrapelvic depending on the sites involved. We report a case of a 40-year-old, right-hand-dominant, female who presented with a painful mass in her right proximal forearm. She was ultimately diagnosed with intramuscular endometriosis and underwent surgical excision.
子宫内膜异位症是一种常见于育龄女性的疾病，其定义为子宫内膜腺体或基质出现在子宫腔外。患者通常在经期出现周期性疼痛。根据受累部位的不同，子宫内膜异位症可分为内生殖器或外生殖器子宫内膜异位症。我们报告了一例 40 岁、右利手的女性，她右手前臂近端出现疼痛性肿块。最终她被诊断为肌内子宫内膜异位症，并接受了手术切除。
