“…3 The other locations in which extrapelvic endometriosis could be located are gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, lungs, and muscular structures with neuronal involvement such as obturator internus muscle, trapezius muscle, deltoid muscle, and piriformis muscle. 11,12 The most common location of extrapelvic intestinal endometriosis is the last part of the small intestine, the cecum and the appendix. However, there are cases reporting the diagnosis of extrapelvic endometriosis in the liver and gall bladder.…”

Introduction: Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial cells anywhere outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis has been encountered on surgical scars especially resulting from a cesarean section recently. Our aim was to investigate the patients with abdominal wall endometriosis in our clinics where all the patients having this disease are managed via surgical resection. We also compared them with the patients presented in the literature. Methods: A study was conducted on the patients with histopathological diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriosis as a case series. All the subjects were analyzed through a comprehensive medical assessment including documentation of the detailed history and physical and gynecological examination based on the patients' medical records. Results: A total of 53 patients diagnosed with abdominal wall endometriosis were included in this study. The mean age and the mean body mass index of the patients were 32.6 ± 6.5 years and 25.2 ± 3.5 kg/m 2 , respectively. A total of 49 patients had at least one operation history, mainly cesarean section. The most common sites for abdominal wall endometriosis were skin and the region containing the rectus abdominis muscle and rectus sheath, 56.6% and 18.9% respectively. The main symptom was the pain getting worse during menstruation and the presence of a mass in all patients. The main diagnostic tools in all patients were detailed history and physical examination, ultrasonography, and then histopathological confirmation after surgical excision. Conclusion: Abdominal wall endometriosis is a common diagnosis mainly due to increased cesarean section rate. Clinical suspicion has the most important place in correct diagnosis and management of abdominal wall endometriosis.

“…In the literature, there are also much rarer cases of disease localization within the context of striated muscles. For example, Chiaramonte et al described the case of a 38-yearold woman with endometriosis of the external oblique muscle, complicated by the onset of deep venous thrombosis of the iliac vein [82].…”

Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of abnormal endometrial tissue outside the uterus. These misplaced cells are responsible for inflammation, symptoms, scar tissue and adhesions. Endometriosis manifests mainly in three patterns: superficial peritoneal lesions (SUP), ovarian endometriomas (OMA) and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). It also exhibits atypical and extremely rare localization. The updated 2022 guidelines of the ESHRE recommend using both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as first-line diagnostic tests. Currently, MRI provides a more complete view of the pelvis anatomy. The aim of our review is to provide radiologists with a “map” that can help them in reporting pelvic MRI scans in patients with endometriosis. We will illustrate the usual and unusual localizations of endometriosis (categorized into compartments) using post-operative imaging, and we will focus on the role of MRI, the main sequences and the use of contrast agents.

“…Special attention should be kept at the rare localization of endometriosis that could involve the femoral and iliac veins either with extrinsic compression or infiltration. This situation could cause cyclical leg swelling, coincidental with menstruation [17][18][19][20] and a possible complication due to this localization could be thrombosis [21][22][23][24][25] .…”

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of women of reproductive age that is defined by the presence of ectopic endometrium. The pathophysiology of the disease is poorly understood, however platelet activation play a crucial role in initiation of inflammation and fibrinogenesis, which in term further activate the coagulation cascade. The relationship between inflammation and coagulation motivated researchers to study whether patients are in a hypercoagulable state and if endometriosis represent an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism or cardiovascular risk. This review article focuses on the role of coagulation, the risk of thrombosis and a possible beneficial effect of antithrombotic-treatment.
