ABSTRACT
Abdominal wall endometriosis is ectopic endometrial tissue in the abdominal wall. Consider this condition in any woman presenting with chronic abdominal pain and a surgical history significant for exposure of the abdominal cavity to the endometrial canal. The diagnosis can be suspected with accurate history taking and a thorough physical examination. In patients with suspected abdominal wall endometriosis, MRI is the imaging study of choice and complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice.
