Abstract

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition. It can pose a diagnostic dilemma when presented as endometriosis in the scar. This is a rare disease entity. We discuss a case of abdominal wall endometriosis following caesarian section. It presented as tender nodule in the left region of previous C-section scar, with cyclical pain and swelling. In view of the possibility of scar endometriosis, the mass was completely excised. Pathologic findings were compatible with scar endometriosis. Key Words: Endometriosis, scar, endometrioma.
