This case report describes the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of endometriosis developing within a cesarean section scar. The authors evaluated the lesion using both computed tomography and MR techniques to document its radiological appearance. They present specific imaging findings that help distinguish this rare form of abdominal wall endometriosis from other potential pathologies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, the diagnosis of deep infiltrating lesions occurring in surgical scars following cesarean delivery.

Abstract

Endometriosis of the abdominal wall is rare and usually arises in a surgical incision. Magnetic resonance (MR) has been used to evaluate endometriosis of the ovaries. A case of endometriosis in a cesarean section scar is presented and evaluated with CT and MR.
