Abstract

The occurrence of endometrioma in cesarean scar is an infrequent event usually presenting as a tender abdominal wall mass. Two cases are reported here. Diagnosis is suggested when the symptoms are cyclic and associated with the patient's menstrual cycle, but this is not always the case. Surgical excision is the method of choice for diagnosing and ultimately treating the lesion.
