This case report describes a 36-year-old woman presenting with a painful, cyclically enlarging abdominal wall mass located at the site of a previous Pfannenstiel incision from two prior cesarean sections. Diagnostic imaging suggested a desmoid tumor, but histopathological examination following wide surgical excision and mesh reconstruction confirmed the diagnosis of scar endometriosis, with no recurrence observed over a 20-month follow-up period. The authors highlight that while rare, this condition should be suspected in women with prior obstetric or gynecologic surgery who exhibit catamenial pain associated with an abdominal mass, emphasizing the necessity of complete surgical resection for effective treatment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the rare entity of scar endometriosis occurring in the abdominal wall following cesarean section.
