ABSTRACT
Abdominal wall endometriosis is a condition in which functioning endometrial tissue is present outside the uterine cavity, and the standard treatment is extensive surgical excision. A 46-year-old woman presented with an irregular lower abdominal mass measuring 8.5×4.5 cm. The patient had a history of a cesarean delivery 15 years previously. For treatment, a mini-abdominoplasty was designed to avoid possible wound complications and to optimize the cosmetic outcomes. The lesion was excised with an adequate margin because of the possibility of recurrence. The resected structures were the lower mid-abdominal skin, subcutaneous fat, anterior and posterior rectus sheath, and rectus abdominis muscle. The incisional wound was closed layer by layer, including abdominal fascia repair with acellular dermal matrix. At a 3-month postoperative outpatient follow-up visit, the patient was highly satisfied with the cosmetic results and reported no complications. Optimal oncological, functional, and cosmetic surgical outcomes can be achieved by complete excision followed by mini-abdominoplasty.
