This paper reports a very rare case of abdominal scar endometriosis in a 32-year-old woman who had intermittent dull aching pain over an abdominal scar for five years and a blue lesion over the scar for seven months. The lump was excised on the clinical diagnosis of a vascular malformation, and histopathology identified decidual change in scar tissue consistent with abdominal scar endometriosis. The authors note that abdominal scar endometriosis should be considered when a childbearing-age woman presents with a painful abdominal wall lump and a history of obstetric or gynecological procedures. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically abdominal scar endometriosis occurring in a post-procedure obstetric/gynecologic context.
