Abstract

Rectus abdominis muscle is one of the rare localizations of endometriosis. In this report, our aim was to present a case in which endometrioma was localized in rectus abdominis muscle. A 33-year old patient who underwent cesarean section six years before, complained of a painful mass measuring 4 cm localized at superior of the right side of incision scar. The mass which was found to be inside of the rectus abdominis muscle was excised totally. There was no relationship between the mass and intra-abdominal viscera and subcutaneous tissue. The result of pathologic examination was endometriosis. Endometrioma should be considered at differential diagnosis of abdominal wall mass in women during reproductive age especially if there is a past history of surgical intervention and shows variations according to menstrual cycle.

Özet

Rektus abdominis kası, endometriyozisin çok nadir görüldüğü yerlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada rektus abdominis kası içerisine lokalize olmuş bir endometriyoma olgusunu sunmayı amaçladık. Otuz üç yaşında, altı yıl önce sezaryen ameliyatı geçirmiş olan hasta sağda insizyon hattının süperiorunda 4 cm büyüklüğünde ağrılı kitle ile başvurdu. Ultrasonografi ile rektus abdominis kası içinde olduğu saptanan kitle total olarak eksize edildi. Kitle intraabdominal organlarla ve ciltaltı dokusuyla ilişkili değildi. Patolojik inceleme sonucunda endometriyozis olduğu saptandı. Reprodüktif çağdaki kadınlarda, batın ön duvarındaki kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında özellikle geçirilmiş cerrahi bir girişim varsa ve menstrüel siklus ile değişkenlik gösteriyorsa endometriyoma düşünülmelidir.
