چکیده
Cutaneous endometriosis represents a non-neoplastic, ectopic growth of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity [1-4]. Daneil Schroen, a German physician, first described endometriosis in 1690 [5]. Years later, in 1885, the first case of cutaneous endometriosis was identified and reported [3]. Cutaneous endometriosis is typically divided into two categories, scar endometriosis and spontaneous (primary) cutaneous endometriosis.
