A 49-year-old woman developed symptomatic abdominal wall endometriosis at a laparoscopic cholecystectomy port site, confirmed by pathology after surgical excision.

This paper is a case report of a 49-year-old woman who developed painful subcutaneous nodules at the umbilical port site after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed in 1991 for gallstones. She initially underwent hormonal treatment due to uncertainty about malignancy and a strong preference informed by dysmenorrhea/endometriosis history, but symptoms later recurred and the enlarging mass (~30 mm) was surgically excised in 2014; part of the lesion was removed together with involved structures and the abdominal wall was repaired using mesh. Pathology confirmed endometriosis of the abdominal wall, and the authors note that most abdominal wall endometriosis occurs after gynecologic surgery, making this post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy presentation extremely rare. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically abdominal wall endometriosis arising at a laparoscopic port site after cholecystectomy.
