The provided text does not contain the paper’s content or findings; it appears to be a journal webpage excerpt with navigation links and unrelated brief listings rather than the actual case report or review details. Because no study population, methods, results, or stated limitations are included in the text supplied, it is not possible to accurately summarize what the paper studied or what it found. The only actionable information is the title indicating an abdominal scar endometriosis case after a Caesarean section, but the report’s specifics are not present here. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — an abdominal scar endometriosis case after Caesarean section, as indicated by the title, though the content is not provided in the text.

Abstract

Scar endometriosis is an uncommon entity. It is often misdiagnosed leading to unnecessary referrals. Gynaecologists and general surgeons must be aware of this entity to avoid discomfort to the patient due to delay in diagnosis. We are presenting a case of scar endometriosis which was misdiagnosed initially. Detailed history of cyclic pain and swelling was the key point for the final diagnosis of scar endometriosis. Medical therapy was ineffective. Surgical excision of mass was the treatment for endometriotic lesion. This article is an attempt to create awareness of this condition among gynaecologists and general surgeons.
