The risk of endometriosis-associated malignant transformation in a scar after cesarean section: a case report and a review of literature

This paper presents a case report and literature review of malignant transformation arising in a surgical scar after cesarean section. The authors describe a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with endometrioid cancer that developed from focal endometriosis in a cesarean scar, with a 22-year interval between surgery and diagnosis; imaging (CT and ultrasound) showed a 15-cm abdominal wall tumor invading abdominal muscles and involving inguinal and external iliac lymph nodes. Due to the advanced stage, the patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and the authors note that malignant transformation of endometriosis in the abdominal wall is very rare with only 50 reported cases. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports endometriosis-associated malignant transformation in a cesarean section scar and reviews prior cases.
