Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue apart from its usual location. Scar endometriosis is an infrequent type of extra pelvic endometriosis. Viable decidual endometrial cells are likely to be transplanted in the episiotomy wounds during normal delivery and subsequent growth may occur. We present here a case of 22 year old female with perineal endometriosis at the episiotomy site. The clinical, operative and pathological findings are reported.
