This paper reports an unusual case of a 28-year-old woman who developed scar endometriosis two years after inguinal hernia repair, presenting as a painless inguinal mass that mimicked recurrent hernia and had possible menstrual-cycle–related swelling. The authors describe how extragenital endometriosis can occur in abdominal wall/scar locations and be mistaken for hernia recurrence, with the key outcome being the clinical recognition and management approach highlighted in the case. They note this as a rare occurrence, implying limited generalizability from a single case. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on scar endometriosis mimicking inguinal hernia recurrence after prior hernia repair.
