Khanzada Z, Tippett R and L

Abstract

We present an interesting case of spontaneous intramuscular rectus abdominis endometrioma, which is a rare condition in a virgin abdomen. A 38 year old lady was referred with a history of persistent right sided lower abdominal pain for several months associated with tender mass, fixed within the anterior abdominal wall, below and to the right of the umbilicus. There was no other history of relevance. This case report aims to increase awareness of this rare condition, which can pose a diagnostic challenge.
