This paper reports four surgical cases of women with abdominal wall masses that were histopathologically diagnosed as endometriosis. The authors describe endometriosis as endometrial tissue outside the uterus and note that, beyond its usual pelvic/peritoneal localization, it can occur in abdominal wall layers after cesarean section or other gynecologic operations, with pelvic pain and infertility frequently observed in endometriosis overall. The main finding is that abdominal wall masses can represent endometriosis, confirmed by surgical pathology in these cases, with the study limited to a small case series without broader analytic comparisons. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically presents abdominal wall masses associated with cesarean-scar/endometriosis.

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is mostly localized to the pelvic viscera and the peritoneum in women during the reproductive period. It may also be present in the layers of the abdominal wall after cesarean section or other gynecological operations. Pelvic pain and infertility are frequently observed in patients with endometriosis. We presented four cases that underwent surgery for a mass in the abdominal wall which were histopathologically diagnosed as endometriosis.
