Abstract:
Abdominal wall endometriosis is a rare disease that usually develops on a cesarean scar. Although frequently observed in the cutaneous and subcutaneous adipose tissue adjacent to the cesarean scar, its intramuscular location is possible but remains rare. Treatment is based on surgical excision of the lesion, with or without hormonal therapy. Wide surgical excision remains the treatment of choice for the disease but carries the risk of abdominal wall hernia. We report a case of parietal endometriosis occurring after a Pfannstiel scar for cesarean section, collected in the Surgery Department of the Gynecological and Breast Center at the INO.
