Abstract

Endometriosis is a very common benign gynecological condition. It is the presence of functional endometrialtissue outside the uterine cavity. Though it can involve most parts of the body, scar endometriosis is aninfrequent condition. The wide array of clinical presentations makes it difficult to diagnose preoperatively.Here, we report two cases of caesarian section endometriosis. One presented as a painful swelling and theother as an area of induration in the scar. Only one of the patients had been on medical treatment withDanazol. Despite that both patients remained symptom free after excision o f their lesions.
