Abstract

Endometrium located outside its normal location is called endometriosis. Scar endometriosis (IE) is a rare entity reported in 0.03–1.08% of women following obstetric or gynecological surgeries. Post salpingectomy endometriosis is documented in 20 – 50% of tubes examined after ligation. The diagnosis is frequently made only after excision and histopathology of the lesion. We are presenting a case of 42 years old woman undergone laparoscopic tubal ligation four years back complained of cyclic pain during menstruation. On examination, there was a firm nodule measuring 3x4cm in size at laparoscopic tubal ligation site that became spontaneously painful during menstrual bleeding. The USG report suggested Desmoid tumor. The nodule was excised & sent for Histopathological examination which confirmed the diagnosis.
