Abdominall wall endometriosis after myomectomy

Abstract

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of histological normal endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Ectopic endometrial tissue is most commonly seen in pelvic organs, ovaries, sacrouterine ligaments, the peritoneum, rectovaginal septum and cervix. Abdominal wall endometriosis is the ectopic location of the endometrial tissue in the abdominal wall and is usually preceded by surgery during which the uterine cavity is entered. Only 1% of endometriosis cases are located on the abdominal wall. Since it is rare, misdiagnoses are common and the diagnosis is usually delayed. The patient's cyclic symptoms and history of previous uterine surgery should suggest the correct diagnosis. Treatment is accomplished by total excision of the lesion. We present a case of abdominal wall endometriosis which occurred after myomectomy surgery, which is quite rare in the literature. The wide excision of the lesion was performed and the histopathological examination confirmed the presence of endometriosis.
