    AbstractAbdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare type of endometriosis. Its pathophysiological pathways are still unknown. It generally occurs after surgical, mainly gynecological or obstetrical, interventions. The incidence of AWE after a caesarean section is around 0.03 to 0.04%. The symptoms are various, but the classical triad includes the presence of a mass, generally painful, associated with a cyclic variation of the symptomatology. The recommended treatment currently remains complete surgical resection of the mass. This article describes three cases of AWE. Each patient had a caesarean section. Their symptoms, however, occurred after various lengths of time and in different circumstances. We will more specifically discuss AWE secondary to cesarean sections, the diagnostic tools, treatment and prevention strategies.
