Abstract

Endometriosis is a well defined but not such well understood benign gynaecological condition that consists on the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterus and that affects 10- 15 % of reproductive age woman (Kovacs P. Conference Report 2002). The abdominal wall is the commonest extra pelvic implantation site, usually on previous laparotomic or laparoscopic scars. In this paper we report un uncommon case of spontaneous endometriosis of the abdominal wall with no previous surgery or delivery.
