Summary
Abdominal wall endometrioma (AWE) is diagnosed in women with a mass at a surgical scar, often after Cesarean section. Surgical excision is recommended for symptom relief and to rule out malignancy.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Surgical Oncology
- Abdominal Imaging
Background:
- Abdominal wall endometrioma (AWE) arises from endometrial-like tissue in the abdominal wall, typically post-uterine surgery.
- Diagnosis can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms and resemblance to other soft tissue lesions.
- Cyclical pain and mass enlargement correlating with menstruation at a surgical scar are highly suggestive of AWE.
