(a) Preoperative findings. A 41-year-old woman with an elastic, hard, and immobile 4 x 3.5-mm mass on the right part of the mons pubis. She had superficial pain on and around the tumor site. (b) Signal intensity of the tumor in the right inguinal region on magnetic resonance images. In this T1-weighted image, the tumor shows low signal intensity.

Superficial pain developed on and around the tumor site (Fig 1a). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed low signal intensity on T1- (Fig 1b) and T2-weighted images.
Operative findings. We carefully dissected the tumor and excised between the tumor and transition part of the round ligament of the uterus.

The tumor was carefully dissected and excised between the tumor and transition part of the round ligament (Fig 2).
Histological findings of the excised tumor. Hematoxylin-eosin staining shows hyperplasia of the endometrial glands, associated with stroma cells (original magnification x100).
