Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and having the functional property of menstrual bleeding. We report a case of endometriosis involving the abdominal wall muscles and canal of Nuck in a 28 year old woman. Abdominal wall sonography showed a hypoechoic lesion at the rectus abdominis insertion. T1W and T2W MRI images showed a hemorrhagic high signal intensity lesion in the muscle. MRI also showed a similar lesion in the canal of Nuck.
