title: Cutaneous endometriosis: a histopathologic study.
abstract: A detailed examination of material from 10 cases of cutaneous endometriosis revealed a range of histopathologic features similar to those found within the uterine endometrium at each of the main phases of the menstrual cycle. However, there appeared to be a poor correlation between histologic appearance and menstrual stage. Recognition of these cyclic variations is important for the accurate diagnosis of cutaneous endometriomas.
