This 2023 paper is a rare multi-focus case report describing abdominal wall scar endometriosis occurring after a cesarean section, detailing the clinical presentation and localization of the lesion in the scar region. The authors present the case and frame it in relation to prior literature on surgical/cesarean scar endometriosis, emphasizing the unusual nature of the condition. The main limitation is that, as a case report, the findings cannot be generalized beyond the described patient. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically abdominal wall scar endometriosis after cesarean section.

Abstract

Endometriosis is described as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Scar endometriosis (SE) is a rare condition which usually develops after gynecologic operations involving the uterus and fallopian tubes. The symptoms are usually nonspecific and cyclic incisional pain increasing by menstruation is the most common symptom. Diagnosis of the disease can be difficult and may be confusing with various other post-surgical conditions. Histopathological examination reveals the final diagnosis. This article presents a case with cesarian SE of which the largest reaches 5x4x3 cm with multiple foci. Scar endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses in the patients with a history of abdominal surgery and cyclic painful solid mass.
