%X Cutaneous endometriosis is usually associated with a preceding surgical scar; spontaneous cutaneous endometriosis is rare. We report on a case of spontaneous cutaneous endometriosis of the mons pubis as well as a review of the literature. A 46-year-old woman with no surgical history presented to gynecology clinic with a 6-year history of a mass on the mons pubis causing severe cyclic pain with enlargement during menses. Initial fine needle aspiration biopsy was nondiagnostic; thus, pelvic ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and a core needle biopsy were used to diagnose a mons endometrioma. The lesion was surgically excised with pathology confirming the diagnosis. The patient noted subsequent improvement in her symptoms. Spontaneous cutaneous endometriosis of the mons pubis can be successfully treated via surgical excision
