Abstract

Scar endometriosis, a rare but clinically significant condition, arises from the ectopic presence of endometrial tissue in surgical scars following gynecological or obstetric procedures.This review aims to consolidate current knowledge on scar endometriosis, encompassing its pathogenesis, diagnostic challenges, and diverse management approaches.Imaging techniques, including ultrasound and MRI, play a crucial role in preoperative assessment, although definitive diagnosis often relies on histopathological examination post-excision.
