Abstract

Extrapelvic endometriosis is a rare disease.The majority of extrapelvic endometriosis cases involve scar tissue following obstetric and gynecologic procedures.We have treated two cases of extrapelvic incisional endometriosis.A 39 year old female patient with cyclic vaginal spotting after laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy due to uterine myoma and a 35 year old female patient with a painful palpable abdominal mass after cesarean section.Both underwent complete excision and were proven to have endometriosis by pathology.Here we report on both cases and review the medical literatures. 1)
