Abstract

Endometriosis is ectopic endometrial tissue that responds to hormonal stimulation and is found in 5 to 10 percent of all menstruating women. Abdominal endometriosis is an extremely rare disease with incidence of 0.03-0.1% in female population. We report a clinical case of endometriosis in the rectus abdominus muscle, in a 26 years old woman, after cesarean section delivery. Pathognomonic but not always present findings are the presence of palpable mass of the abdominal wall near or proximity of preceeding surgical scar, cyclic character of painfull symptomatology, augmentation of volume and bleeding in menstrual period. Abdominal endometriosis can also mimic other lesions of abdominal wall, such as hematomas, granulomas, abscesses and tumors. USG, CT and MRI can facilitate the preoperative diagnosis but they do not always furnish reports of certainity. The definite diagnosis is based on histological examination after biopsy or excision. The treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis is surgical excision.

Özet

Reproduktif çağdaki kadınların %5-10 unda görülen endometriozis hormonal uyarılara cevap veren ektopik yerleşimli endometrium dokusudur. Abdominal endometriozis oldukça nadir bir hastalık olup kadınların %0.03-0.1'inde gözlenir. Burada 26 yaşındaki bir hastada sezeryan sonrası rektus abdominus kasında görülen bir endometriozis vakası sunulmuştur. Patognomonik olmakla birlikte her zaman görülemeyen bulgular arasında cerrahi skar dokusu yakınında karın ön duvarında hissedilebilen kitle, ağrılı semptomların siklik özelliği ve mensturasyon kanamasının fazlalığı bulunmaktadır. Abdominal endometriozis; hematom, granulom, abse ve tümörler gibi abdomen duvarının diğer lezyonlarını da taklit edebilir. USG, CT ve MRI preoperatif teşhisi kolaylaştırmakla birlikte herzaman yeterli olmayabilir. Kesin teşhis, biyopsi yada eksizyon sonrası histolojik inceleme ile konulur. Tedavi cerrahi eksizyondur.
