P10.02: Abdominal wall endometriosis: an up‐to‐date perspective

Abdominal wall edometriosis (AWE) is defined by the presence of endometrial tissue in the subcuteneous fatty layer and/ or muscles of the abdominal wall. The purpose of our study was to evaluate imagistic and clinical features and the management options of these cases. A series of 47 patients over a 9-year period was analysed. The risk factors, clinical findings, imagistic (ultrasound, MRI, CT) aspects, treatment and the follow-up were taken into account. A systematic overview for the research articles published up until February 2019 was also performed. 45 patients presented a diagnostic Esquivel triad: history a Caesarean section, various degree of cyclic local pain during ovulation or/and menses and a nodular tumour nearby surgical scar. No previous history of pelvic endometriosis was detected. The ultrasound scans were performed in 46 cases – usually AWE appears as a nonhomogeneous hypoechoic mass with echogenic spots or thick echogenic strands, hypovascular. (figure 1). Surgical removal of the tumour was done in 42 cases and endometriosis was histopathological confirmed. No recurrence till now was reported.
