This case report describes a 34-year-old woman who developed supra-pubic swelling that slowly enlarged over 6 months, with menstrual-associated lower abdominal pain, presenting 7 years after her last lower segment caesarean section (LSCS). The authors report that the swelling was diagnosed as caesarean scar endometriosis based on clinical history, examination, and ultrasound findings, noting that diagnosis is often made only after excision in such conditions. The main limitation is that this is a single-patient report without systematic diagnostic testing, outcome follow-up, or a broader cohort for generalization. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically caesarean scar endometriosis presenting years after LSCS.

Abstract

Endometriosis is defined by the presence and growth of ectopic functional endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The symptoms are nonspecific, typically involving abdominal wall pain at the time of menstruation. It commonly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. The diagnosis is frequently made only after excision of scar the diseased tissue. A case report of 34 year old female patient presenting with scar endometriosis 7 years after her last LSCS (lower segment caesarean section). The patient came with the complaint of supra pubic swelling since 6 months, which was growing slowly. Her menstrual history was regular, but she had lower abdominal pain during menstruation. On clinical history, examination and USG finding the swelling was diagnosed as scar endometriosis.
