Abstract

La endometriosis se define como el crecimiento de glandulas y estroma  de tipo endometrial por fuera de la cavidad uterina. Es la segunda  patologia ginecologica en frecuencia que afecta a mujeres en edad reproductiva  y puede comprometer sitios anatomicos intrapelvicos y extrapelvicos. La endometriosis sobre una cicatriz de cirugia ginecologica o  una cesarea es poco frecuente. Se presenta como nodulos eritemato-violaceos  o del color normal de la piel, que se congestionan y causan dolor  en relacion con la menstruacion. El diagnostico definitivo se realiza con  el estudio histopatologico y su tratamiento consiste en la reseccion quirurgica  completa. Se describen dos casos de pacientes con diagnostico  de endometriosis sobre una cicatriz de episiotomia previa. Palabras clave: endometriosis, endometriosis cicatrizal, endometriosis  cutanea. Dermatol. Argent. 2019, 25 (3): 115-118 Endometriosis associated with episiotomy scar Abstract Endometriosis is defined as the growth of endometrial glands and stroma, outside the uterine cavity. It is the second gynecological pathology in frequency in women of reproductive age, and it can affect intra and extra-pelvic anatomical sites. Endometriosis over a scar from gynecological surgery or cesarean section is rare. It presents as erythematous-violaceous or normal-colored nodules, which becomes congested and causes pain in relation to menstruation. The definitive diagnosis depends on the histopathological study; and its treatment consists of complete surgical resection. We report two cases of female patients diagnosed with endometriosis on a previous episiotomy scar. Key words: endometriosis, scar endometriosis, cutaneous endometriosis. Dermatol. Argent. 2019, 25 (3): 115-118
