Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of histologically normal endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis occurs most commonly within the pelvis. Extrapelvic endometriosis is less common, but can involve nearly every organ in the body. We present a patient in whom endometriosis was discovered in the rectus abdominis muscle and discuss the imaging findings and histopathology.
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见于盆腔内。盆腔外子宫内膜异位症较少见，但可累及身体几乎每个器官。我们报告一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和组织病理学。
