Abstract:
: Parietal endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis affecting the abdominal wall, often following a cesarean section. Two cases illustrate this condition: a 33-year-old patient with a painful post-cesarean nodule and a 44-year-old patient with a bleeding sub-umbilical nodule. Diagnosis relies on imaging (ultrasound, MRI) and histopathological examination. Its origin is explained by several theories, including tubal reflux and coelomic metaplasia. Treatment mainly involves surgery, though medical alternatives exist to avoid mutilating procedures. Early management is essential to improve patients' quality of life.
