Abstract

Abstract Endometriosis affects 6% of women of reproductive age. About 10% of cases occur in extrapelvic locations, with gastric endometriosis being very rare. Typical symptoms include cyclical or chronic epigastric pain, especially in endometriosis patients, though most are nonspecific. We report a case of gastric endometriosis in a woman of reproductive age with a history of Cesarean section.
