Summary
Metastatic endometriosis in abdominal scars can occur via transportation or metaplasia. Diagnosis may require biopsy for atypical cases, with treatment options including hormonal therapy, surgery, or irradiation.
Area of Science:
- Gynecologic Pathology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial-like tissue occurs outside the uterus.
- Metastatic endometriosis in abdominal scars is a rare but recognized occurrence.

Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Healing II: Complications
Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
