Endometriosis in laparotomy scars, a rare condition, can develop after abdominal hysterotomy, with two cases reported within a month suggesting it may not be as uncommon as previously thought.

Endometriosis of laparotomy scars has been described as rare. Interruption of pregnancy by abdominal hysterotomy affords an opportunity for its development. The two cases which are reported were admitted to the hospital within one month, which suggests that this diagnosis may not be rare.
