This paper reports a case of abdominal wall endometriosis affecting the rectus muscle that was discovered and excised during a cesarean section. A 32-year-old pregnant woman presented with a hard, painful, irreducible midline subcutaneous mass; under general anesthesia, the mass was removed with surrounding healthy tissue, and pathology confirmed endometriosis. The authors include a literature review and state that surgical excision is the best treatment method for abdominal wall endometriosis, while the main limitation is that this is a single case report. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically abdominal wall (rectus muscle) endometriosis arising after cesarean section.

Abstract

We aimed to present a case with abdominal wall endometriosis following cesarean section in this case report. A 32 year old 39 weeks pregnant woman with G2P1 was admitted to gynaecology clinic with abdominal lump and pain in the midline. Her physical examination included a hard and painful palpable subcutaneous mass of 4x5 cm size in the midline of the abdomen which was semisolid and irreducible. Under general anesthesia, the mass on the rectus muscle was excised with the healthy tissue around with the diagnosis of endometriosis during cesarean section and the pathological diagnosis was reported as endometriosis.Surgical excision is the best treatment method in abdominal wall endometriosis.
