Area of Science:

Gynecology
Surgical Pathology

Background:

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder affecting 8-15% of reproductive-aged women.
Scar endometriosis is a rare manifestation, typically occurring after gynecological or obstetrical surgeries.
Symptoms include cyclical abdominal wall pain and a palpable mass at the surgical scar.

Observation:

A case of abdominal wall scar endometriosis is presented in a woman four years post-cesarean section.
The patient experienced cyclical pain at the incision site.
A palpable, tender mass was noted in the scar.

Findings:

Diagnosis was confirmed post-operatively via histological analysis of the excised tissue.
Surgical excision was both diagnostic and therapeutic.

Implications:

This case underscores the importance of considering scar endometriosis in women with cyclical abdominal pain at surgical sites.
Early recognition and diagnosis can improve patient outcomes.
Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of scar endometriosis is warranted.
