Abstract

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of an ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is a usual disorder of women in reproductive age, which is mainly located in the female genital tract. Endometriosis is found most commonly in the gynecologic organs and pelvic peritoneum. Although it is uncommon, extrapelvic endometriosis can form a different mass known as abdominal wall endometrioma. We present the clinical findings, the diagnostic procedures, and the management of a patient with abdominal wall endometrioma.
