This paper reports the case of a woman with two painful abdominal-wall masses located within the scar of a prior cesarean section and describes the relevant CT findings. It presents these imaging results alongside the differential diagnosis for abdominal-wall lesions in that clinical context. Because it is a single case report, there is no broader study population or systematic evaluation of sensitivity/specificity of CT features. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically documents CT findings of incisional (abdominal-wall) endometriomas arising in a cesarean scar.
