With the current increase in gastric bypass procedures performed and the subsequent increase in abdominal wall reconstructions secondary to massive weight loss, the plastic surgeon should have some familiarity with the diverse presentations of this common disease. To help with this, the authors present the case of an abdominal wall endometrioma diagnosed during abdominoplasty.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nApplebaum GD, Iwanczyk L, Balingit PB: Endometrioma of the abdominal wall masquerading as hernia.
