The paper reports two cases of abdominal wall endometriosis presenting with preoperative diagnoses of recurrent incisional hernia and an inclusion cyst, studied using clinical evaluation, intraoperative findings, surgical excision/dermolipectomy (including complete scar resection), and histopathology. In both cases, intraoperatively the authors found blue, multilobulated masses involving the abdominal wall (rectus fascia/muscle region), and histology confirmed ectopic endometrial glands and stroma with associated inflammatory/desmoplastic reaction and hemorrhage, with no malignant changes. The main limitation is that the report is based on only two rare cases and relies on literature review for incidence estimates and diagnostic/treatment context. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of the abdominal wall scar with extension to muscle tissue.

Abstract

intro_obj: Se presentan dos casos de endometriosis de cicatriz de pared abdominal con diagnóstico preoperatorio de eventración postquirúrgica y quiste de inclusión. En ambos casos la planificación quirúrgica fue la realización de dermolipectorrúa abdominal con resección de las cicatrices. Durante el acto quirúrgico se encontraron unas masas tumorales de color azul, multilobuladas, sobre los musculas rectos abdominales. El diagnóstico histológico confirmó la presencia de tejido endometrial sobre las ronas cicatriciales y la aponeurosis muscular. Debido a la rareza de los casos se efectuó búsqueda bibliográfica a fin de actualizar el tema, encontrándose 1 solo caso publicado en el ámbito mundial relacionando endometriosis y cirugía plástica. En los últimos 10 años hay solo 76 casos publicados en la literatura.
