Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of histological normal endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Most frequently endometriosis occurs within the pelvis. Extrapelvic endometriosis is less common, but can involve nearly every organ. We present two patients in whom endometriosis was found in the rectus abdominis muscle and discuss the imaging findings and pathological correlation.
子宫内膜异位症的特征是在子宫腔外存在组织学上正常的子宫内膜组织。子宫内膜异位症最常发生在盆腔内。盆腔外子宫内膜异位症较少见,但几乎可累及每个器官。我们报告两例在腹直肌中发现子宫内膜异位症的患者,并讨论其影像学表现及病理相关性。
