Abstract

Cutaneous endometriosis is a well recognized but uncommon phenomenon. We observed a case of this condition occurring in an abdominal hysterectomy scar 6 months after the operation. The nodule developed pain once a month. Histopathology revealed glandular structures lined by a single layer of columnar cells. Surgical ecision resulted in cure of the condition.
