Abstract
Endocervicosis refers to the presence of benign mucinous glands of endocervical type in ectopic site. It is rare and usually detected incidentally by histologic examination. The urinary bladder is the most common site, but peritoneum, small bowel, abdominal scar, outer wall of the cervix, vagina, and lymph nodes have been documented. Because this is the first documented report of endocervicosis arising in the rectus muscle in korea, we report this with a brief review of the concerned literatures.
Key Words: Endocervicosis, Rectus abdominis muscle
