The paper reports two clinical case studies of extrapelvic endometriosis in women of reproductive age, focusing on abdominal wall endometriosis and inguinal endometriosis. In both cases, the authors describe management with surgical excision alone, noting that the patients did not receive medical treatment after surgery. The key finding is the demonstration of extrapelvic endometriosis presentations occurring outside common pelvic and peritoneal sites and being identifiable after surgical intervention. Limitations include the small number of cases and the absence of comparative or long-term outcome data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it presents two case reports of abdominal wall and inguinal extrapelvic endometriosis.
