Cutaneous endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis, and few reports on its dermoscopic features have been published. In this case report, we present a 40-year-old female with cutaneous endometriosis arising in a caesarean scar, exhibiting unique and distinct dermoscopic features. The patient presented with a nodular, papillomatous growth in the right end of the scar, and dermoscopic examination revealed structureless red papillomatous projections, as well as nonpapillomatous areas with red dotted vessels surrounded by a white reticular network. A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such dermoscopic features in cutaneous endometriosis arising in a caesarean scar. Our case report adds to the current limited knowledge of dermoscopic features of cutaneous endometriosis and may help in the diagnosis of this condition.
皮肤子宫内膜异位症是子宫内膜异位症的一种罕见表现，关于其皮肤镜特征的报道很少。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一名40岁女性，其剖宫产瘢痕处出现皮肤子宫内膜异位症，表现出独特且明显的皮肤镜特征。患者瘢痕右端有一个结节状、乳头状肿物，皮肤镜检查发现无结构的红色乳头状突起，以及非乳头状区域，有白色网状结构围绕的红色点状血管。活检确诊为子宫内膜异位症。据我们所知，这是首次报道剖宫产瘢痕处皮肤子宫内膜异位症具有此类皮肤镜特征。我们的病例报告增加了目前关于皮肤子宫内膜异位症皮肤镜特征的有限知识，可能有助于该病的诊断。
