ABSTRACT

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is mostly localized to the pelvic viscera and the peritoneum in women during the reproductive period. It may also be present in the layers of the abdominal wall after cesarean section or other gynecological operations. Pelvic pain and infertility are frequently observed in patients with endometriosis. We presented four cases that underwent surgery for a mass in the abdominal wall which were histopathologically diagnosed as endometriosis.
