Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition that usually presents as an abdominal lump. It can be a diagnostic dilemma and should be considered as a differential diagnosis for lumps in the abdomen in females. We discuss a case of abdominal wall endometriosis following caesarean section, which was misdiagnosed as a desmoid tumour.
