Background & Objective: Given the impact of endometriosis on patients’ social lives, marital relationships, and fertility and on reducing these people’s quality of life, its proper diagnosis and treatment seem vital. This study aimed to report a case of rectus muscle endometriosis and the way it was managed.
Case Report: The patient was a 30-year-old woman who had a history of dysmenorrhea and chronic pain for 2 years after her first delivery which was performed by cesarean section. During ultrasonography conducted on the anterior abdominal wall of the midline, a mass indicating endometriosis was observed in the abdominal wall at the site of the cesarean section incision scar and in the thickness of the rectus muscle. After the termination of pregnancy and during the cesarean section, the mass was removed and the patient’s symptoms subsided.
Conclusion: To manage endometriosis a patient’s complete records and imaging techniques can be effective.
