This paper describes an abdominal wall endometrioma that was diagnosed during an abdominoplasty, highlighting extrauterine manifestations of endometriosis that may be unfamiliar to plastic surgeons. The report is presented as a case experience in the setting of increasing abdominal wall reconstructions after massive weight loss, with emphasis on the diverse presentations of the disease. As a case report, it does not provide systematic outcome data or generalizable comparative analysis, and the main limitation is that it reflects a single clinical example. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically an abdominal wall endometrioma identified during abdominoplasty.

Abstract

Extrauterine manifestations of endometriosis are well-recognized and frequently encountered by gynecologists, but are not necessarily familiar to the plastic surgery community. With the current increase in gastric bypass procedures performed and the subsequent increase in abdominal wall reconstructions secondary to massive weight loss, the plastic surgeon should have some familiarity with the diverse presentations of this common disease. To help with this, the authors present the case of an abdominal wall endometrioma diagnosed during abdominoplasty.
