Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics, treatment and prevention of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). Methods A retrospective analysis of 295 cases of AWE from February 2007 to August 2011 in our hospital was performed. Results All of the patients had abdominal operations before and 99% of them had a history of caesarean section. The mean age of the patients was (31.55±4.52) years old. The average size of the mass was (2.66±1.12) cm, significantly larger than the estimation of ultrasonography before operation which was (1.91±0.83) cm (P<0.001). No relapse was discovered five months to three years after the operation. Conclusion It is easy to diagnose abdominal wall endometriosis through medical history, clinical characteristics, physical signs and ultrasonic assessment. The prevention of AWE is very important. Operation is still the best treatment for AWE.
