Incisional endometriosis: A report of 3 cases

Sengul, Ilker/0000-0001-5217-0755 WOS: 000270313500014 PubMed: 19865584 Endometriosis is defined as a growth of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity that responds to hormonal stimulation. It occurs most commonly in pelvic sites such as the ovaries, posterior cul-de-sac, ligaments of the uterus, pelvic peritoneum and rectovaginal septum and is found in 8%–15% of all menstruating women. Extrapelvic endometriosis is less common but can affect many sites, including the lungs, appendix, nose, umblicus, peritoneum and even the intestinal wall.1
