ABSTRACT
Ectopic decidual tissue can occur outside the endometrium on the surface of uterus, ovaries, peritoneum, fallopian tubes or appendix. Most cases present with incidental finding during cesarean section and does not require treatment. However, deciduosis on the surface of peritoneum or muscle tissue can mimic metastatic deposits and histopathological examination is required for confirmation of diagnosis. We present a case of ectopic deciduosis of rectus abdominis muscle which was clinically suspected as metastatic deposits.
Key words: Deciduosis, Ectopic localization, Metastatic deposits, Rectus muscle. .
