We present a case of localized nasal endometriosis to contribute to the literature. A primiparous, primigravida, 37-year-old female was diagnosed with nasal septal endometriosis in the presence of history of periodic epistaxis, nasal pain, and nasal fullness. After a nasal biopsy for exclusion of malignancy, a comprehensive general screening was performed on the recommendation of a gynecologist, definitive endometriosis was diagnosed, and oral treatment was initiated. Significant relief was reported in her nasal symptoms during the 1-year follow-up period. We report this case to demonstrate the importance of clinical awareness of periodic cyclic perimenstrual epistaxis, nasal lesions, and nasal pain as a cause of nasal septal endometriosis.
我们报告一例局限性鼻子宫内膜异位症病例，以丰富相关文献。一名37岁初产初孕女性，因有周期性鼻出血、鼻痛和鼻塞病史，被诊断为鼻中隔子宫内膜异位症。在进行鼻活检以排除恶性肿瘤后，根据妇科医生的建议进行了全面的全身筛查，确诊为子宫内膜异位症，并开始口服治疗。在1年的随访期内，患者的鼻部症状有显著缓解。我们报告此病例，以证明临床认识到周期性围经期鼻出血、鼻部病变和鼻痛作为鼻中隔子宫内膜异位症病因的重要性。
