Diagnosing asymptomatic endometriosis can be challenging, often discovered incidentally during surgery. This study highlights the need to consider endometriosis in women of childbearing age with inguinal hernias.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Surgical Pathology

Context:

  • Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women, frequently presenting asymptomatically.
  • Inguinal canal endometriosis is rare, often presenting as a tumefaction.
  • Preoperative diagnosis is difficult, especially in asymptomatic cases.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges of asymptomatic inguinal canal endometriosis.
  • To emphasize considering endometriosis in women of childbearing age with inguinal hernias.

Summary:

  • This case series reviewed 8 patients with inguinal canal endometriosis.
  • Symptomatic cases allowed preoperative diagnosis, while asymptomatic cases were diagnosed intraoperatively.
  • Histological examination confirmed endometriosis without atypical cells; no neoplastic transformation was observed.

Impact:

  • Increased awareness of endometriosis as a differential diagnosis for inguinal masses in women.
  • Improved diagnostic strategies for asymptomatic endometriosis, particularly when co-occurring with hernias.
