Abstract
We report a case of vulvar endometriosis presenting as a vulvar mass f ollowing trauma in a 12 years old, 3 months postmenarcheal girl. The p resumptive etiology is the direct implantation of endometrial cells. P ainful swelling of the vulvar mass appeared gradually during menses. E xcision of suspected vulvar endometriosis is suggested as the definite treatment.
