Scar endometriosis—a diagnostic dilemma

To diagnose scar endometriosis when an abdominal wall mass is found near the scar from a previous operation requires a high degree of suspicion. Pre-operatively, ultrasound and fine needle aspiration can be of help. Awareness of diagnosis avoids delay in diagnosis, treatment, and unnecessary referrals to other specialities. We reviewed five cases of scar endometriosis presenting to our unit in the last 5 years and included a literature review. Similar content being viewed by others
