Abstract
Endometriosis, is a disorder affecting as many as 15% of women of childbearing age, is defined as the aberrant or heterotopic growth of glands and stroma identical to the lining uterus. Endometriosis, can be macroscopically identified generally confined to the pelvis, but it can proliferate in other areas like pleura, skin, extremities, lung, spleen, gallbladder, stomach, kidney and abdominal wall. Abdominal wall endometriosis usually occurs in the surgical scar of previous cesarean sections. This condition often looks like a cyclic abdominal pain with a palpable mass or tumor. We report a case of abdominal endometriosis. The definitive diagnosis was established by pathologic analysis.
