This case report discusses endometriosis of postoperative scars (EPS), a rare complication of abdominal surgery, and highlights diagnostic tools, differential diagnoses, and preventive measures for EPS after cesarean sections.

The paper describes a clinical case of endometriosis of a postoperative scar (EPR) in two women who previously underwent cesarean section, focusing on the complication’s pathogenesis and diagnostic approach. The authors note that mechanical implantation of endometrial tissue during the initial surgery is considered the leading mechanism, and they emphasize that imaging with ultrasound and MRI is important while differential diagnosis must exclude entities such as suture granulomas, hematomas, fibromas, hernias, lipomas, seromas, abscesses, and soft-tissue malignancies and other tumors. Adequate surgical removal of endometriotic infiltrates with subsequent abdominoplasty reportedly prevented EPR recurrence and produced an optimal cosmetic outcome, with an explicit limitation that the evidence presented is based on case descriptions rather than broader study data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of a postoperative scar following cesarean delivery.
