Background: The abdominal wall is the commonest site of extrapelvic endometriosis, which usually develops in association with a prior surgical scar. Case: A 28-year-old woman with two endometriomas in the recti abdominis, which developed in a scarless abdomen. Conclusions: Abdominal wall endometrioma can develop spontaneously in the absence of prior surgical scar and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
