Abstract

The presence of endometrium outside the uterine cavity is known as endometriosis. Scar endometriosis is an uncommon type of extra-pelvic endometriosis, that is usually confused with other surgical or dermatological conditions leading to delay in diagnosis.Abdominal wall or cutaneous endometriomas are quite uncommon with an incidence of less than 1%. The symptoms are nonspecific, typically involving abdominal wall pain at the incision site at the time of menstruation. It commonly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries.We are reporting a scar endometriosis case, involving the rectus sheath which presented as cyclical painful previous hysterotomy scar.
