Abstract

Cancer arising in abdominal wall endometriosis is a rare event, hindering diagnosis and making management uncertain. A cesarean section scar is generally at the origin of the disease. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman, with a past medical history of cesarean deliveries, complaining of a repeat abdominal wall endometriosis which transformed into a clear-cell carcinoma. Outcome was rapidly fatal. Compared with endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinoma, the prognosis of this abdominal scar complication is poor. In the literature, survival rate reaches only 57% after a short follow-up of 20 months. Clear-cell carcinoma is the most common histological subtype, followed by endometrioid carcinoma. Radical surgery is the main treatment. Good technique and proper care during cesarean section may help in preventing this endometriosis complication.
