This paper reports a single case of cesarean scar endometriosis in a 28-year-old woman presenting with a painful palpable subcutaneous mass at the left angle of a prior cesarean incision 6 months prior to evaluation, with symptom history spanning two emergency cesarean deliveries. Using clinical examination, ultrasound, and spinal anesthesia for management, the authors performed wide en bloc surgical excision, with histopathology confirming endometrial glands and stroma with hemorrhage and inflammation and no malignancy; at 6-month follow-up the patient reported no recurrence and relief of symptoms. The main limitation is that it is a case report and the discussion acknowledges that evidence is mostly limited and difficult to study in controlled trials due to rarity. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on cesarean scar endometriosis (abdominal wall endometriosis at a prior surgical scar).
