However, manyunusual sites have been described, including theumbilicus, cesarean section scars, hernia sacs, appendix, vagina, vulva, omentum and perineum [1].The incidence of endometriosis at the episiotomy site is quite rare. The typical clinical history and local findings enable us to make the correct diagnosis of the case. A case of deep perineal endometriosis on episiotomy scar was encountered. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision of endometrial tissue and usually obtains permanent cure.
