Abstract
Background: Endometriosis is defined as the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It’s classified in a primary and a secondary form. The endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with a prevalence estimated between 8-15%, it usually occurs in women during the reproductive years, with the maximum incidence between 30 and 40 year old women. The primary endometriosis form of the rectus abdominis muscle includes lesions that are not a result of a previous surgical procedure. This is an exceptional occurrence and only 18 cases have been described in Literature from 1984 to 2004. The incidence of the secondary form has been estimated around 0,003%-4%.
