Abdominal wall endometriosis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, typically within the abdominal wall muscles. This condition often presents with cyclic abdominal pain, swelling, and a palpable mass, mimicking other abdominal pathologies. Diagnosis is challenging and requires a high index of suspicion, especially in women of reproductive age with a history of pelvic endometriosis. Imaging studies such as ultrasound and MRI can aid in diagnosis, but definitive diagnosis is made through histopathological examination of excised tissue. Treatment options include surgical excision of the lesion with clear margins to alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence. Multidisciplinary collaboration between gynecologists and general surgeons is essential for optimal management of abdominal wall endometriosis cases. We present the case of a 38-year-old female patient diagnosed with endometriosis involving the right abdominal muscle.
