Abdominal Wall Endometrioma after Laparoscopic Operation of Uterine Endometriosis

Abstract: Endometriosis is presence of functional endometrium outside of uterine cavum. As a pluripotent tissue, endometrium has the possibility of implanting itself almost everywhere; even implantation in abdominal wall was described, but it is not common site. This case report presents implantation of functional endometrium in abdominal wall, inside scar tissue, and after insertion of a laparoscopic trocar port. Final diagnosis was confirmed by pathohistological examination.

“…Still, endometrioma of the rectus abdominis wall must be suspected in the context of a female patient of reproductive age presenting with anterior abdominal wall tumorous mass and cyclic pain depending on menses, as well as a previous history of gynecological surgery (more common caesarean section) [1], or even laparoscopic procedures [12]. It is logical to assume that, with the advance of laparoscopic surgery, including endometriosis, port site endometriosis will be more frequently reported in the future.…”

“…EO primară, cunoscută și sub numele de nodul lui Villar, apare spontan cu mecanisme patogenetice incomplet dezvăluite și reprezintă aproape 75% din toate cazurile de EO [1-7, 9-22, 54]. EO secundară se poate dezvolta ca urmare a unei intervenții chirurgicale clasice sau laparoscopice efectuate în regiunea ombilicului [8,10,13,[23][24][25][26][27][28]. Atât EO primară cât și cea secundară se pot dezvolta în straturile anatomice cutanate sau subcutanate [14].…”

“…Anterior abdominal wall endometriosis usually occurs during female surgical interventions (often cesarean section) and with an iatrogenic potential for implantation. This is while the cases of anterior abdominal wall endometriosis without having a history of previous surgery has also been reported (13,14). Diagnosing endometriosis is difficult due to its non-specific clinical symptoms and the differential diagnosis includes lymphadenopathy, abscess, inguinal hernia, primary cancer or metastasis, lymphoma, lipoma, hematoma, sarcoma, dermoid tumor, subcutaneous cysts, and sebaceous cysts (9).…”
