Abstract

ABSTRACT
Endometriosis commonly affects the ovaries, uterine ligaments, rectovaginal septum and pelvic peritoneum. Extrapelvic endometriosis is less common, but may affect some sites, such as the lungs, appendix, nose, navel, peritoneum and even the intestines. The most common form of extrapelvic endometriosis is the cutaneous scars primarily in obstetrical or gynecological surgery. This paper aims to describe a clinical picture characterized by endometriosis surgical site in a young patient.
