This paper reports a case of cesarean section scar endometriosis in a 32-year-old multiparous woman with three prior cesareans who developed progressively painful scar symptoms for three years, with a tender nodule that became more prominent during menstruation. Using clinical examination and imaging, ultrasound showed hypoechoic areas with echogenic shadowing, while MRI was unremarkable; the authors made a clinical diagnosis of scar endometriosis and performed local excision with en bloc dissection. Histopathology confirmed endometrial glands, and the paper discusses the presentation’s pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis occurring in a cesarean section scar.
