    Endometriosis can occur in abdominal scars after cesarean sections, requiring emergency surgery for complications like strangulation. This case highlights the importance of considering scar endometriosis in differential diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus.
    • Abdominal wall endometriosis is a rare manifestation, often associated with surgical scars.
    • Cesarean section scars are a recognized site for iatrogenic endometriosis.

    Observation:

    • A 35-year-old woman presented with symptoms suggestive of epiploic strangulation.
    • Emergency surgery revealed endometriosis within the abdominal parietal scar from a prior cesarean section.
    • The patient required surgical intervention for the strangulated eventration.

    Findings:

    • The case confirms endometriosis as a potential complication of cesarean sections.
    • Pathological examination of the scar tissue confirmed the presence of endometriosis.

  • Epiploic strangulation occurred at the site of the scar endometriosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion for scar endometriosis.
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to prevent surgical emergencies.
    • Understanding scar endometriosis mechanisms can inform preventative and therapeutic strategies.
