This paper reports a case of caesarean scar endometriosis in a 35-year-old woman who presented with a painful lump at the site of a prior caesarean section. The authors describe preoperative diagnosis based on clinical examination and radiological imaging, with confirmation by histology after large surgical excision of the mass. The main limitation is that the report is a single case, reflecting the rarity of abdominal scar endometriosis and providing limited generalizable evidence beyond this example. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically describes caesarean scar endometriosis as a case report.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a common disorder in women of reproductive age but is rarely observed in abdominal scar after caesarean section. The authors report a case of 35-year-old woman referred for a painful lump at caesarean scar. Preoperative diagnosis of caesarean scar endometriosis was made on the basis of clinical examination and radiological imaging and confirmed histologically after large surgical excision of the mass. Increasing awareness of this rare entity among clinicians can help in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
