| 摘要 |
Endometrioma, ectopic endometrial tissue, usually occurs in the pelvis.
Endometrioma in the abdominal wall associated with cesarean section is quite rare.
We reported a 29-year-old female patient with abdominal wall endometrioma
having received cesarean section 4 years before. The endometrioma presented as a
painful mass in the lower abdominal wall with the size fluctuating with her menstruation
cycle. Imaging study revealed a heterogeneous mass in the rectus abdominis
muscle. Sonography-guided biopsy revealed an endometrioma. Wide surgical
excision was performed and the patient recovered smoothly. Abdominal wall
endometrioma is difficult to be diagnosed preoperatively and should be kept in
mind in cases with previous cesarean section. The treatment of abdominal wall
endometrioma is complete surgical excision to prevent recurrence. |
