This paper is a rare case report describing a patient who developed endometriosis in a surgical scar after a caesarean section, noting that scar endometriosis is uncommon and difficult to diagnose. The authors report that the condition was adequately managed in the subsequent caesarean section. The main limitation is that, as a single case report, it provides no generalizable evidence beyond the described clinical course. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically caesarean-scar endometriosis occurring after uterine surgery.

Abstract

Endometriosis is presence of functioning endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can sometimes occur in previous surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynaecological surgeries. We present here a case report of a patient who developed scar endometriosis following a caesarean section which was dealt adequately in the subsequent caesarean section.
