RESUMEN
Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and having the functional property of menstrual bleeding. We report a case of endometriosis involving the abdominal wall muscles and canal of Nuck in a 28 year old woman. Abdominal wall sonography showed a hypoechoic lesion at the rectus abdominis insertion. T1W and T2W MRI images showed a hemorrhagic high signal intensity lesion in the muscle. MRI also showed a similar lesion in the canal of Nuck.

A positive diagnosis of benign ovarian tumor indicates a laparoscopic approach or a conservative treatment. Benign ovarian tumors are often easy to recognize with non ionizing modalities such as US and MRI. The most common benign ovarian tumors are: mature teratomas including dermoid cysts, tumors in the fibro-thecal group including fibromas and thecomas, benign serous and mucinous tumors (cystadenomas). Apart from ovarian tumors, endometriomas are more commonly extra ovarian, but may involve the ovarian stroma.
