This case report presents the first computed tomography description of an endometrioma located in the anterior abdominal wall, specifically within the rectus sheath. The authors highlight that superficial soft tissue endometriosis is an uncommon lesion that can develop independently of any other evidence of pelvic endometriosis. The paper details the clinical presentation and imaging characteristics of this rare manifestation without discussing broader treatment protocols or comparative studies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the atypical presentation of an abdominal wall endometrioma diagnosed via CT imaging.

Abstract

Endometriosis of the superficial soft tissues is an uncommon lesion that may occur in the absence of other evidence of pelvic endometriosis. An example of an endometrioma arising in the rectus sheath is reported here. To our knowledge, this is the first CT description of an anterior abdominal wall endometrioma.
