The paper reports a single case of anterior abdominal wall endometrioma in a 32-year-old woman with 8 months of lower abdominal pain and a palpable lump, where examination showed an ill-defined mass without tenderness. Computed tomography demonstrated an enhancing isodense mass at the umbilical level within the right rectus abdominis muscle, and the patient underwent wide radical resection with a 1 cm margin; histology confirmed endometriosis. The authors note no postoperative complications and report the patient doing well without recurrence five months after surgery. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically an anterior abdominal wall endometrioma presenting as a diagnostic challenge.

Abstract

We are reporting a case of abdominal wall endometrioma (AWE) in a 32-year-old woman who had an 8 months history of lower abdominal pain and lump. The physical examination revealed an ill-defined mass without tenderness. Computed tomography (CT) showed an enhancing is odense mass at the level of umbilicus right to mid line in right rectus abdominis muscle. The patient was treated with a wide radical resection with a 1 cm margin. There was no postoperative complication. The histological examination confirmed endometriosis. The patient is now on regular follow-up and doing well without any recurrence, five months after her operation.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences (2015) Vol.03 No.02 Issue 10Page: 44-46
