This case report describes a patient presenting with abdominal wall endometriosis located specifically within a caesarean section scar. The authors highlight that such extrapelvic manifestations pose significant diagnostic challenges and are often misdiagnosed as other abdominal lumps or hernias. They emphasize the necessity of including scar endometriosis in the differential diagnosis for females with abdominal masses following prior uterine surgery, noting that definitive diagnosis requires cytological and histological examination. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the presentation and diagnosis of scar endometriosis at a previous caesarean section site.
