Abstract

Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It has been previously reported in the abdominal wall secondary to gynaecological surgery. We present the case of a 32-year woman with endometrioma of the abdominal wall masquerading as an intramuscular lipoma with no previous surgical history.
