Abstract
Endometriosis is a disorder that commonly affects females of reproductive age and is defined as the presence of endometrial glands or stroma outside the uterine cavity. Patients typically present with cyclical pain during menses. Endometriosis can be characterized as endopelvic or extrapelvic depending on the sites involved. We report a case of a 40-year-old, right-hand-dominant, female who presented with a painful mass in her right proximal forearm. She was ultimately diagnosed with intramuscular endometriosis and underwent surgical excision.
期刊介绍：
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration.
This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
