Abstract

Endometriosis is the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It can sometimes occur after obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. This condition is often confused with other surgical patologies and preoperative diagnosis is rarely established. Medical treatment is not helpful. The patients required wide surgical excision of the lesion. In this study we are reporting eleven cases of abdominal wall endometriosis which were developed following cesarean section. The mean age of the patients was 28.3 and there were no any operation other than cesarean section. All masses were totally resected with one cm surgical margin. Whenever a female patient is presented with abdominal wall mass previous gynecological operations should be evaluated and endometriosis must be regarded between differential diagnosis.
