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.

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition; abdominal wall endometriosis is a subtype of endometriosis. Although abdominal wall endometriosis is not common, preoperative diagnosis of abdominal wall endometriosis can be easily mistaken for a suture granuloma, lipoma, abscess, cyst, hematoma or hernia. We reported a case with rectus abdominis endometrioma mimicing acute abdomen Our opinion is that abdominal wall endometriosis should be considered in those patients presented with acute abdomen who underwent gynecological operations. There are atipical presentations of abdominal wall endometriosis and it is important for a surgeon to keep in mind that endometriosis in acute abdomen cases although it is a rare condition.
