Description
Although endometriosis is a relatively common condition in women of reproductive age, skeletal endometriosis is rare. Among them, endometriosis in the upper extremity is extremely rare and, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only one case report of endometriosis in the upper extremity published in the English literature. We successfully treated a case of endometriosis in the deltoid muscle in a 23-year-old woman with complete surgical excision and has no recurrence for 72 months after surgery.
