Surgical Scar Endometriosis After Abdominal Myomectomy: A Case Report

Endometriosis is a persistent gynecological disorder defined by the existence of functioning endometrial glands and stroma beyond the uterine cavity. Globally, estimates suggest that 10–15% of all women of reproductive age are affected by endometriosis. Surgical scar endometriosis is a rare condition that presents in patients after cesarean section or myomectomy, where the endometrial tissue implants in the surgical scar. We present the case of a 35-year-old female complaining of cyclical abdominal pain, oozing dark red blood from the surgical site, and a lump on the left side of a Pfannenstiel incision. She had undergone myomectomy one year ago. Keywords: Endometriosis, myomectomy, surgical scar, Pfannenstiel
