Popis: 1. 1. A review of the literature has disclosed 25 cases of perineal endometriosis. 2. 2. The reported ages ranged from 23 to 45 years; the average age was approximately 38. 3. 3. All patients had experienced previous perineal trauma. There were approximately 20 patients whose previous perineal trauma had consisted of episiotomy or laceration associated with parturition. There were 5 parous patients whose perineal symptoms developed subsequent to uterine curettage and colporrhaphy or dilatation and evacuation of the uterus. 4. 4. Seven patients noted the onset of symptoms within six months of the last incident of perineal trauma; 13 patients noted their symptoms twelve months or more after the last incident of perineal trauma. 5. 5. Four patients demonstrated recurrences subsequent to excision of the endometriomas. 6. 6. The twenty-sixth case of perineal endometriosis is reported. This occurred in a 25-year-old woman, ten months after her second vaginal delivery. There was a recurrence five months after excision of the endometrioma.
