Rarely seen abdominal wall endometriosis: Eight cases

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. In the childbearing period, it is mostly localized to the pelvic viscera and the peritoneum. Kidneys, surrenal glands, umbilicus, skin, peripheral nerves, heart, liver, and bones are other frequent localizations for endometriosis. Abdominal wall endometriosis can usually be detected as attached to abdominal wall layers. We aimed to present eight abdominal wall endometriosis cases together with the related literature.
