This paper reports a 55-year-old woman with an abdominal mass and chronic vague abdominal pain worst in the right hypochondrium, noted to be accentuated during menstruation, with a history of two cesarean sections. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT showed gallbladder and abdominal wall hyperenhancing masses, and MRI with paramagnetic contrast confirmed gallbladder involvement by solid tissue as well as a solid abdominal wall nodule. Based on imaging and contrast enhancement patterns, she underwent surgical removal of the gallbladder and the abdominal wall implant, and histology confirmed endometriosis in both sites. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically gallbladder and muscular (abdominal wall) endometriosis presenting as a mass with imaging findings.
