Abdominal wall endometriosis is ectopic endometrial tissue in the abdominal wall. Consider this condition in any woman presenting with chronic abdominal pain and a surgical history significant for exposure of the abdominal cavity to the endometrial canal. The diagnosis can be suspected with accurate history taking and a thorough physical examination. In patients with suspected abdominal wall endometriosis, MRI is the imaging study of choice and complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice.
腹壁子宫内膜异位症是指腹壁内的异位子宫内膜组织。对于任何有慢性腹痛且有腹腔暴露于子宫内膜腔的手术史的女性，都应考虑这种情况。通过准确的病史采集和全面的体格检查可怀疑该诊断。对于疑似腹壁子宫内膜异位症的患者，MRI是首选的影像学检查，而完整的手术切除是首选的治疗方法。
