This case report examines the utility of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in diagnosing extrapelvic endometriosis within soft tissues and abdominal walls. The authors present two female patients who presented with tender nodules, one located on the abdominal wall and the other at a previous gynecologic surgery scar. While one diagnosis was confirmed via excisional biopsy, the study highlights FNAB as a potential diagnostic tool for these rare presentations despite its limited use in soft tissue evaluation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the diagnostic application of fine-needle aspiration biopsy for cutaneous and abdominal wall endometriosis.

Abstract

"La Biopsia por Aspiración con Aguja Fina (BACAF) es el método de elección en el diagnóstico de nódulos tiroideos, mamarios, ganglios linfáticos y glándulas salivares. En piel y tejidos blandos ha sido utilizada con poca frecuencia. Presentamos dos casos de endometriosis extrapélvica, localizada en tejidos blandos y pared abdominal. Se trata de dos mujeres con nódulos dolorosos en la pared abdominal y sobre cicatriz de cirugía ginecológica. El diagnóstico se confirmó en una de las pacientes con biopsia excisional, otra recibió tratamiento médico."
