Abstract
ENDOMETRIOSIS IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE PRESENCE OF UTERINE MUCOSAL TISSUE OUTSIDE THE UTERUS. ABDOMINAL WALL ENDOMETRIOSIS (AWE) IS A RARE ENTITY, USUALLY DEVELOPED IN THE FERTILE PERIOD OF WOMEN. IT MEANS ENDOMETRIOSIS OUTSIDE THE PERITONEUM. PARIETAL ENDOMETRIOSIS INCLUDE, BESIDE AWE, PERINEA L ENDOMETRIOSIS. IT CAN BE PRIMARY ENDOMETRIOSIS (WHICH IS QUITE RARE, SUCH AS UMBILICAL), OR, MORE OFTEN, SECONDARY, AFTER SURGICAL OR GYNECOLOGICAL PROCEDUR ES. SCAR ENDOMETRIOSIS IS DUE TO INTRAOPERATIVE DISEMINATION AND IS MORE FREQUENTLY LOCATED TO C -SECTION SCAR. THE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE CATAMENIAL PAIN, PALPABLE MASS WITH OR WITHOUT CYCLIC VARIATIONS, AND EVEN EXTERNAL HAEMORRAGE SYNCRONOUS WITH MENSTRA. CYCL ICITY OF PAIN OR OF MASS DIMENSIONS’ VARIATION IS NOT PRESENT IN ALL CASES. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS SHOULD BE MADE WITH STITCH GRANULOMA, ABSCESS, LIPOMA, HEMATOMA, SEBACEOUS CYST, SEROMA, HERNIA, OR EVEN MALIGNANT TUMORS. IMAGISTIC METHODS, SUCH AS ULTRASOUND, MRI AND CT SCAN ARE USEFULL FOR DIAGNOSIS. SURGICAL EXCISION OF ENDOMETRIAL MASS IS UNANIMOUS LY CONSIDERED TO BE THE ONLY CURATIVE TREATMENT.
