Abstract:
Abdominal wall endometriosis is a rare disease that usually develops in association with a cesarean section scar. Although frequently identified in the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue adjacent to the cesarean scar, intramuscular localization is possible but rare. Treatment is based on surgical excision of the lesion associated with or without hormone therapy. Wide surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but it exposes to the risk of abdominal wall hernia. We here report two cases of parietal endometriosis occurring after Pfannstiel scar for cesarean section whose data were collected at the Department of surgery in the Zaghouan Regional Hospital.
