Abstract:
Study on one case of endometriosis. Results: the rate of extrauterine endometriosis was 10-15% in comparison with intrauterine endometriosis, and can be seen anywhere in the body: colorectum (15-20%), fallopian tube, ovaries (6%), appendix (3%), etc, with plentiful clinical signs. It can be treated by combination of internal and surgical therapies. Endometriosis in shallow location, especially in surgical scars, can be treated by removal of all endometriosis tissue due to thoroughness and the risk of cancer. Endometriosis of perineal scar is very rare so it is seldom diagnosed before operation.
