This case report describes a patient who presented with abdominal wall endometriosis during an abdominoplasty procedure, highlighting the importance of considering this diagnosis in aesthetic surgery contexts. The authors note that while endometriosis is commonly associated with pelvic organs, it can manifest in extra-pelvic soft tissues, including the abdominal wall, often following prior surgical interventions such as cesarean sections. The paper emphasizes that surgeons should maintain a high index of suspicion for endometriosis when evaluating patients undergoing body contouring procedures, even if the presentation is atypical or distant from previous scars. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, the rare presentation of abdominal wall endometriosis discovered incidentally during an abdominoplasty.
