This 2012 case report describes abdominal wall endometriosis (scar endometrioma), a rare condition most often occurring after cesarean delivery or other pelvic surgery, and typically presenting with cyclic pain. The authors report a 36-year-old woman with a scar endometrioma following two prior cesarean sections, and discuss diagnostic pitfalls and possible treatment options in the context of how the condition can mimic other diseases. A key limitation is that the evidence is limited to a single patient experience, reflecting the rarity of the disorder and the resulting delay that often occurs in obtaining a correct diagnosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports and discusses abdominal wall scar endometrioma after cesarean delivery.

Abstract

Abdominal wall endometriosis, also known as scar endometrioma, is a rare condition, in most cases occurring after previous cesarean section or pelvic surgery. The incidence of scar endometrioma is estimated to 0.03%-1.5% of all women with previous cesarean delivery. The predominant clinical picture is cyclic pain. Due to a wide range of mimicking conditions and a relative rarity, a significant delay is often observed from the onset of symptoms to proper treatment. We report on a case of a 36-year-old patient with scar endometrioma after two previous cesarean deliveries. The possible diagnostic pitfalls and treatment options are discussed.
