Abstract
Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare event. Only a few reports in the literature mention sonographic features of this clinical entity. We describe a case of a young woman with subcutaneous endometriosis under the surgical scar of a previous cesarean section. Physical examination, ultrasound findings, histopathological features and differential diagnostic problems are discussed. Ultrasound examination, in combination with clinical history, is a useful method in the diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriosis and the avoidance of diagnostic pitfalls.
