Abstract:
A multiparous obese patient with prior abdominal surgeries complained of cyclic abdominal pain located near the surgical scar. A 1 cm lesion was identified on imaging. Computed tomography-guided needle localization was performed immediately before surgery. This allowed for complete excision of the abdominal wall endometrioma and resolution of the cyclic, focal abdominal pain.
