The paper describes anterior abdominal wall scar endometriosis, focusing on a rare implantation process most often reported after cesarean sections, and summarizes clinical presentation and imaging characteristics. Across a case series and review, it reports that lesions are frequently detected by combining scar-adjacent implantation history with imaging findings, and that ultrasound may show solid mildly hypoechoic lesions that can be isoechoic to surrounding muscle, with heterogeneity when bleeding or fluid is present. Computed tomography is characterized by avid contrast enhancement, while magnetic resonance imaging is described as having sensitivity to blood products, with the paper’s main limitation being that it is based on a small case series and a narrative review rather than systematic comparative diagnostic performance. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis arising in anterior abdominal wall scars and the imaging modalities used to diagnose it.

ABSTRACT Implantation of endometriosis to pelvic and abdominal scar tissue is a very rare occurrence. Most commonly observed after cesarean sections due to implantation of uterine endometrial stem cells to outside tissues. Patients are often asymptomatic but may present with cyclic pain and mass. Imaging diagnosis is possible when classical implantation site near the scar tissue, clinical history and imaging findings are combined. In ultrasound imaging the lesion is often solid, mildly hypoechoic and often isoechoic to surrounding muscle. Presence of bleeding and fluid may cause the lesion to appear more heterogeneous. On computed tomography imaging the most pronounced finding is avid contrast enhancement of the lesion whereas in magnetic resonance imaging sensitivity to blood products.
