Abstract
Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy is the method of choice for the diagnosis of thyroid, breast, lymph and salivary glands nodules; nevertheless, it’s use has been poor regarding sking and soft tissues evaluation. In the following paper, the authors present two cases of extrapelvic endometriosis, located on soft tissues and abdominal wall, in two women with tender nodes on abdominal wall and over a gyneacologic surgery scar. Diagnosis was confirmed on one of the patients via excisional biopsy; the other one underwent medical management.
