Scar Endometriosis – An Unusual Case: From a Surgeon’s Perspective
Asian Journal of Case Reports in Surgery · pp. 271–276 · Published 19 Oct 2020
Abstract
Endometriosis is described as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Scar endometriosis is a rare disease, and is difficult to diagnose. The symptoms are nonspecific, typically involving abdominal wall pain at the incision site at the time of menstruation. It commonly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries with maximum incidence seen following caesarean section. It can also present as abdominal lump. General surgeons are frequently involved in the management of these lesions. A report of an unusual case of scar endometriosis following caesarean section is presented here.
