This paper reports an unusual case of abdominal wall endometriosis presenting in a way that mimicked metastatic disease in a patient with known breast carcinoma. The authors describe the differential framing of abdominal wall lesions into nontumorous versus tumorous categories and position the endometriosis lesion as falling under the nontumorous causes while appearing malignant on presentation. The main limitation is that the report is a single case, providing descriptive clinical context rather than systematic evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically abdominal wall endometriosis that mimics metastases.

Abstract

Abdominal wall lesions can be broadly divided into nontumorous and tumorous conditions. Nontumorous lesions include congenital lesion, abdominal wall hernia, inflammation and infection, vascular lesions, and miscellaneous conditions like hematoma. Tumorous lesions include benign and malignant neoplasms. Here, we report an unusual case of abdominal wall endometriosis mimicking metastases in a patient with breast carcinoma.
