Endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, the abdominal wall, especially the rectus abdominis muscle, is an uncommon site of extra pelvic endometriosis. It usually develops in a previous surgical scar. We propose during this work and through a case of the rectus abdominis endometrioma reported at the service of visceral surgeryI HMIMV, to review in a rather exhaustive, specific epidemiological, clinical, para clinical and therapeutict of the parietal endometriosis, in the light of contemporary literature.
