Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Abdominal wall endometriosis is usually a secondary process in scars after a cesarean section or appendectomy. Malignant transformation is an infrequent complication of endometriosis. The great majority of cases belong to adenocarcinoma. Only 21.3% of cases of malignant transformation of endometriosis occur at extragonadal pelvic sites, 4% of cases in scars after laparotomy. STUDY DESIGN: This is a case report of malignant transformation of endometriosis to adenocarcinoma in scar after cesarean section in 45-year old woman. CONCLUSIONS: In cases of abdominal wall endometriosis in scars after cesarean section surgical treatment is a method of choice. Treatment consisted in wide surgical resection followed by prosthetic abdominal wall repair. Using a plastic mesh is a method of choice for abdominal wall reconstruction after surgery.
