Abdominal wall endometrioma: An insidious cause of delayed diagnosis

Clin Case Rep. 2021 Sep 15;9(9):e04836. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4836. eCollection 2021 Sep.

Abstract

An extremely rare extrapelvic position of endometriosis with a precise incidence of 0.07%-0.47%, leading usually to delayed and false diagnosis. Differential diagnosis should include that rare condition while ultrasonography remains a pivotal tool to unravel that enigma, especially in women with no specific symptoms and surgeries in the past.

Keywords: abdominal wall; cesarean section; endometriosis; translabial ultrasonography.
