This case report describes a rare instance of scar site endometriosis occurring at a cesarean section scar. A 25-year-old woman developed cyclical pain and swelling at the scar site three years after her cesarean section, and the clinical diagnosis was supported using ultrasonography. The lesion was treated with wide excision with clear margins, which the authors report as curative; the main limitation is that the evidence is limited to a single patient case. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically cesarean scar endometriosis presenting as cyclical scar pain and swelling.
