title: An unusual occurrence of endometriosis in the right groin: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: A case of endometriosis involving the superficial femoral lymphatic chain is presented. We feel that it is significant due to the rare location and the implications for diagnosis and therapy. It is our opinion that endometriosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of groin masses in menstruating women. A brief review of pertinent literature is also presented.
