dc.description.abstractEndometriosis usually presents as cyclical pain in the pelvis but may also present as painful cutaneous lesions. Many diseases may mimic hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) since HS, a chronic inflammatory painful skin disease, is a clinical diagnosis. A 32-year-old woman presented with painful lumps on her vulva and groin accompanied with bloody discharge during menstruation. She was followed up with preliminary diagnosis of endometriosis. Previous excision without definitive diagnosis resulted in temporary relief. She was prescribed oral contraceptive pills that alleviated her symptoms but quitted due to headache. Surgical excision was performed for definitive diagnosis and therapeutic relief. Pathology report revealed HS. She was prescribed oral doxycycline. She responded well to the therapy and has symptom-free for the last 2 years. She delivered one healthy girl via cesarian section 2 years after the treatment. Endometriosis and HS should be included in the differential diagnosis when women present with menstrual painful lesions around external genitalia for diagnosis and treatment.
