This case report describes a thirty-year-old woman presenting with a painful, firm nodule beneath a healed cesarean section scar that became more prominent during menstruation. Diagnostic imaging via ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic area, while MRI results were inconclusive, leading to a clinical diagnosis based on the patient's history and physical examination. The abnormal tissue was excised through local incision, and histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of endometrial glands within the scar tissue. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it documents a rare case of scar endometriosis occurring in a previous cesarean section site.
