AB  - ABSTRACTOBJECTİVE: This study was concerned with the examination of patients who underwent surgery for subcutaneous endometriosis in our clinic and the relationship between subcutaneous endometriosis and inflammatory markers.MATERİALS AND METHODS: Patient demographics and information on history and duration of previous surgery, lesion size, number of lesions, location, recurrence, symptoms, type and number of deliveries, recurrence status, and imaging method were recorded. Laboratory analysis recorded TSH, blood count (Hb), WBC, mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte/platelet ratio (MPR), lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and CA -125 values of patients.RESULTS: The study included 28 patients and it was found that the mean age of the patients was 32.67±5.56 years. Five (17.9%) and 18 (64.3%) of the patients complained of a palpable mass and cyclic pain, respectively. Five patients (17.9%) were asymptomatic. Endometriosis associated with the scar line was localized in 18 (64.3%) of the patients. In three (10.7%) of the patients, the endometriosis was localized in the perineal line and in 7 (25%) of the patients in the rectus abdominis. No significant difference was found in the patients' routine laboratory results and inflammatory markers. CONCLUSION: In the present study, there was no significant association between the levels of inflammatory markers in patients who underwent surgery for subcutaneous endometriosis at different sites and with different symptoms.
