Abstract

The Authors report a case of endometriosis of the surgical scar following caesarean section. The patient, arrived at surgical observation for a doubtful foreign body granuloma, underwent a diagnostic biopsy of the lesion. Histological examination confirmed the endometriosis nature of the lesion. Before surgical removal, adjuvant therapy based on GnRH analog was performed with the aim to reduce the volume of the lesion. After removal a cycle of therapy with GnRH analog was performed in oder to exclude possible residual pathologic microscopic lesions.
