The paper describes abdominal incisional (scar) endometriosis occurring after cesarean-related uterine surgery, reporting two cases of abdominal wall endometriosis following hysterotomy and cesarean section. It frames the condition as extra-pelvic endometriosis that is rare, hard to diagnose, and typically manifests as a painful, slowly enlarging mass in or near a surgical scar. The authors discuss issues of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment in the context of these cases, but the report is limited by its small case number and does not provide broader population data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, abdominal incisional endometriosis following cesarean section.

Abstract

Endometriosis is described as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. The most common location is within the pelvis. However, extra pelvic endometriosis is a fairly uncommon disorder and difficult to diagnose. It can sometimes occur in a surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is a rare condition and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. It presents as a painful, slowly growing mass in or near a surgical scar. We report two cases of abdominal wall endometriosis following hysterotomy and cesarean section. Consequently the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
