Abstract
We present three cases of endometriosis developing in the abdominal wall following
cesarean section.
The patients were examined by Doppler ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). The object is to describe the US and MRI findings of the lesion and
evaluate their role in the diagnosis and management.
In our opinion, a single procedure is sufficient in evaluating the lesion and in reaching
the diagnosis.
