Abstract

Localization of endometrial stroma and glands out of uterus cavity is termed as “endometriosis”. Endometriosis in rectus abdominis muscle is very rare.

In this study, an endometriosis case was presented in a 37 years old female patient who underwent cesarean  section. Endometriosis had developed in the anterior adominal wall and  rectus abdominis muscle out of old incision scars. This focus was treated with total excision.

If a reproductive female patient has abdominal mass and cyclic pain, fine needle aspiration biopsy by ultrasound guided should be taken for differential diagnosis. If the diagnosis is endometriosis, the treatment should be total excision.

Key Words: Rectus abdominis, Endometriosis
