Abstract
Endometriosis was defined as an ectopic endometrial tissue that responds to ovarian hormonal stimuli. In 1899 the presence of endometrial tissue was first described in an ovary. Since then various, localization sites have been identified, such as urogenital organs, omentum, intestine, lymph nodes, lungs, pleura, navel, episiotomies and surgical scars, among others. When ectopic endometrial tissue presents as a circumscribed tumor it is called endometrioma or endometriosic granuloma. Endometriosis in the surgical scar occurs more frequently after uterine or fallopian tube surgery, it has also occurred after appendectomies and inguinal plasties. Anamnesis and complementary examinations are necessary tools for a diagnostic impression of endometrioma.
A case is presented because the diagnosis is still a real challenge, as described below.
