This case report describes a rare instance of rectus abdominis endometrioma presenting as an acute abdomen in a female patient with a history of gynecological surgery. The authors highlight that abdominal wall endometriosis is frequently misdiagnosed preoperatively as other conditions such as suture granulomas, lipomas, abscesses, cysts, hematomas, or hernias. They emphasize the importance for surgeons to maintain abdominal wall endometriosis in the differential diagnosis when evaluating patients with acute abdominal pain and prior surgical histories. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the atypical presentation of abdominal wall endometriosis mimicking an acute surgical emergency.
