Abstract

Endometriosis is the presence of normal and functional endometrial mucosa outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis near the operation scar (scar endometrioma) is a rare form of extrapelvic endometriosis. It is mostly seen after C-section deliveries. The time for diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) in the rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) after surgery varies between 2 months and 4 years. Herein, we report a case of a 42-year-old female of AWE in the RAM which was diagnosed 10 years after C-section delivery.
