Abstract

SUMMArY Our aim to publish this case report to remind this rare gynecologic disease to clinicians as a differential diagnose. Our patient was a woman suffering from a painful abdominal mass for about one year. She had two cesarean sections in her history. Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechogenic mass while computed tomography showed an izointense mass with lobulated margins. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologically after surgical excision. In conclusion; although abdominal wall endometriosis is seen rarely nowadays, familiarity with its signs and symptoms will increase awareness of this disease.
