Title Of Article :
Abdominal wall endometriosis; A Case Report
Abstract :
A woman aged 34 years, with a history of Caesarean section seven years ago, were admitted with an enlarging, painful mass located 6-7 centimeters above the Phannenstiel incision in the midline of abdominal wall. The cyclical nature of pain, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sonographic features of the lesion led to the diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriosis. Total excision and histopathologic examination of the specimen confirmed endometriosis. Endometriosis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses.
