“…Its incidence in the general population is 6–10% and it usually affects reproductive women. However, the exact incidence of endometriosis is difficult to capture as the diagnosis requires biopsy or visual identification of the endometrium during laparoscopy or laparotomy [ 7 ].…”

“…The treatment of choice for AWE is wide local excision of the mass with at least 1 cm negative margins [ 7 , 10 ]. Mesh reconstruction should be taken into account for patients with an abdominal mass ≥5 cm on ultrasound or with the involvement of the abdominal wall fascia and muscle [ 5 , 8 ].…”

Abdominal wall endometriosis has an incidence of 0.3–1% of extrapelvic disease. Α 48-year-old female appeared in the emergency department with cellulitis in a lower midline incision. She had an endometrioma of the anterior abdominal wall removed 2 years ago. After 5 months, she underwent an open repair of an incisional hernia with a propylene mesh, which was unfortunately infected and removed 1 month later. Finally, in July 2019, she had her incisional hernia repaired with a biological mesh. Imaging modalities revealed a large mass below the umbilicus. Mass was punctured under ultrasound guidance. Cytology reported the recurrence of endometriosis. Pain and abdominal mass associating with menses were the two most typical symptoms. Wide local excision of the mass with at least 1 cm negative margins is the preferred treatment. Surgeons should maintain a high suspicion of the disease in reproductive women with circular pain, palpable abdominal mass and history of uterine-relating surgery.

“…The glands were lined by columnar epithelial cells and the stroma was composed of small, bland fusiform cells with scant cytoplasm. For the diagnosis of endometriosis, two of the three characteristic findings (extrauterine foci of endometrial glands with variable amounts of stroma and hemorrhage) were present [2].…”

Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. Scar endometriosis (SE), a rare occurrence, results from inadvertent extrapelvic transplantation of endometrial tissue to an incision site, such as from a low transverse cesarean section (LTCS). The reported incidence of abdominal wall scar endometriosis status-post cesarean section is 0.03 - 0.6%. We present a case of rectus abdominis scar endometriosis diagnosed four years following an LTCS. Our case report discusses the history/presentation, imaging findings, histopathology, and pertinent literature concerning abdominal wall scar endometriosis.
