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.
