Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and is common in fertile women. Pelvis is the most frequent location of the endometriosis. Endometriosis is mostly found in peritoneal surfaces but can also involve the vagina, vulva, rectovaginal septum, and perineum usually postobstetric, gynecological, or other surgical trauma. Extrapelvic endometriosis has been reported in any region of the body including bowel, bladder, lung, kidney, extremities, perineum, and umbilicus. We present a case of a patient perineal surgical scar endometriosis. The endometriotic scar nodule was surgically excised. Postoperatively, The patient was treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs.
