Misdiagnosed as a perianal abscess: case report of perianal endometriosis.

Perianal endometriosis represents a rare form of endometriosis occurring outside the pelvic cavity. Owing to its infrequency in clinical practice, this condition is highly susceptible to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This case report details a young female patient who was erroneously diagnosed with a perianal abscess. We conducted a para-anal mass resection under spinal anesthesia, and subsequent histopathological examination definitively confirmed the diagnosis of perianal endometriosis.
