“…Among them are intra-articular pathologies of the hip, urological diseases, abdominal wall dysfunctions, and gynecological diseases [6][7][8][9]. We highlighted the abdominal wall endometrioma, with few reports of occurrence in the world literature [8][9][10]. In the previous literature, we did not find a description of an abdominal wall endometrioma mimicking a pubalgia condition, as described in this report.…”

“…The prevalence ranges from 8 to 15% of women of childbearing age 10 and can be either pelvic or extra-pelvic. Endometriosis of the rectus abdominis muscle, as described in this clinical case, is rare, with only about 20 cases found in the literature [8][9][10]. When it forms a circumscribed mass, endometriosis is called an endometrioma [8].…”

“…Treatment is eminently non-surgical, with physiotherapy, withdrawal from sports, systemic or local corticosteroids, and non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs. Among the differential diagnoses of pubalgia are intra-articular pathologies of the hip, sacroiliitis, urological diseases, inguinal hernias, and gynecological diseases [6][7][8][9]. In this last group, there are ovarian cysts and abdominal wall endometriosis.…”

Endometriosis is classically defined as ‘the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine cavity and musculature’. Although it most commonly occurs in the pelvis, various extrapelvic locations have been reported in the literature. There seems to be a strong association between abdominal wall endometriomas and previous surgical scars. In female patients presenting with a cyclically painful abdominal wall mass, a high index of suspicion for endometrioma must be maintained, especially in the setting of previous gynecologic surgery. Although there may be a role for medical management of symptoms, the most definitive treatment of an abdominal wall endometrioma appears to be wide local excision with negative margins. This paper presents a 39-year-old female with an extensive gynecologic surgical history presenting with a 6 × 6 cm cyclically tender abdominal wall endometrioma treated with wide local excision.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Though the commonest site of occurrence is the pelvis, there have been cases of extrapelvic endometriosis reported in the literature. One of such rare sites is the rectus abdominis muscle, with only around 20 cases reported in the literature. Our patient was a 31-year-old female with a previous history of two cesarean sections who presented with cyclical pain over the scar. Imaging revealed the presence of endometrial tissue localized to the rectus abdominis muscle. Excision of the endometrioma with abdominal wall reconstruction using a polypropylene mesh was done. Herein, we present this case for its rarity with a short review of the literature on extrapelvic endometrioma.
