Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 32
Abstract
Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. Both pelvic and extra pelvic endometriosis has been described. Sometimes extra pelvic endometriosis can occur in abdominal wall following obstetrical and gynecological surgery. The prevalence of surgically proven endometriosis in scars is 1.6%. It can pose a diagnostic dilemma and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lumps in abdomen in females. We present a case of abdominal wall endometriosis occurring after myomectomy. The management was by wide excision to prevent recurrence. This article is presented to create awareness regarding the condition among gynecologists and surgeons. The incidence, patho-physiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the condition are reviewed.
