Abstract

Although endometriosis is a common condition in women of reproductive age, the incidence of endometrioma in prior surgical incision sites is rare.We present a case of an abdominal wall mass in a female patient with a history of obstetrical surgery. The mass was visualized with ultrasound and computerized tomography, removed by wide excision, and identified via frozen section. This case demonstrates the importance of a thorough surgical and obstetrical history in any woman who presents with an abdominal wall mass.
