This paper reports a single case of abdominal wall endometrioma in a 34-year-old woman with a two-year history of lower abdominal pain, including an ill-defined tender mass on physical examination. Computed tomography identified an enhancing isodense mass involving the midline-right rectus abdominis muscle, and the authors performed wide radical resection with a 1 cm margin followed by mesh grafting repair. Histology confirmed endometriosis, and the patient had no postoperative complications and showed no recurrence at five months on regular follow-up. As a case report, the main limitation is that it provides only one patient experience without broader generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically an endometrioma located in the abdominal wall.
