Abstract

Endometriosis of the abdominal wall is a rare disease that usually develops on a cesarean section scar. Although frequently observed in the cutaneous and subcutaneous adipose tissue opposite the caesarean scar, its intramuscular localization is possible but remains rare. Treatment is based on surgical removal of the lesion with or without hormonal therapy. Wide surgical excision remains the treatment of choice for the disease but exposes the risk of herniation of the abdominal wall. We report two cases of parietal endometriosis occurring after a Pfannstiel scar for caesarean section collected in the department of obstetrics gynecology at the Mohamed 5 military hospitalin Rabat.
