This case series describes scar endometriosis occurring at three different scar locations, focusing on presentation patterns such as cyclical abdominal pain, discharge, and swelling, and the concept that endometriosis may be found in pelvic and extra-pelvic sites. The authors present multiple cases without specifying a comparative analytic method, and the main limitation is that, as a case series, it does not provide incidence estimates or controlled comparisons across locations. The report is based on clinical observation and is framed as part of the broader literature on abdominal wall and extragenital endometriosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically scar endometriosis at three different scar locations.
