Endometriosis in cutaneous scar - Female, 32 - Tissue image [7120729593145131]
Histopathological examination of a rectus abdominis muscle specimen from a 32-year-old woman with a cesarean scar confirmed endometriosis through the presence of endometrial-type glands, stroma, hemorrhages, and inflammatory cells.

This case report describes a 32-year-old female with a history of cesarean section who presented with a four-centimeter tumor in the rectus abdominis muscle, initially suspected as endometriosis on CT imaging. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis by revealing fibrous and muscle tissue containing numerous endometrial-type glands and stroma accompanied by hemorrhages and inflammatory cells. The study highlights the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing cutaneous scar endometriosis from other soft tissue masses in patients with prior abdominal surgeries. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it documents a rare case of endometriosis occurring within a cesarean section scar.
