Abstract

Background: Endometriosis is the aberrant presence of uterine mucosa in locations outside the uterus. It may be pelvic or extra pelvic. Case: Retrospective analysis of seven cases of scar endometriosis from the file records of the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology to study clinical characteristics and management. Five patients (71.42%) had presented after caesarean section, one each (14.2%) following hysterotomy and repair for ruptured uterus. Conclusion: Endometriosis should be considered when cutaneous swelling is present within surgical scars or where the histology of non-specific abdominal pain relates to the menstrual cycle.
