J Clin Ultrasound. 2008 Feb;36(2):91-7. doi: 10.1002/jcu.20431.

Abstract

We reviewed the sonographic features of endometriosis in infrequent sites, including the abdominal wall, appendix, perineum, and bladder. Familiarity with the clinical setting and the sonographic appearance of endometriosis in both frequent and infrequent sites can help facilitate prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment.
