Endometriosis abdominal. A propósito de 2 casos

Abdominal endometriosis is a rare entity, which usually hampers diagnosis. The presence of a cyclically painful abdominal mass in women with a previous history of abdominal surgery for obstetric or gynecological causes is highly suggestive. The differential diagnosis should be made with the most common postsurgical complications such as abdominal hernia, suture granuloma, abscesses, and rectus muscle hematomas. Imaging diagnosis has low specificity, and the final diagnosis is reached by histopathological study of the surgical specimen. We report two cases of abdominal endometriosis; the first patient had a history of cesarean section 3 years previously and the second had a history of mature ovarian teratoma extirpated 4 years previously.
