Scar endometriosis is a rare condition where endometrial tissue grows in surgical scars, often causing delayed diagnosis. Increased awareness of this infrequent, late-onset complication can improve detection and surgical treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Scar masses are infrequent, with differential diagnoses including keloid, hematoma, granuloma, hernia, or neoplasm.
  • Endometriosis, a condition of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, can rarely manifest in surgical scars.

Observation:

  • Presents two cases of scar endometriosis, a rare postoperative complication.
  • Symptoms typically manifest late after surgery, with an average delay of 4.5 years.

Findings:

  • The late onset of scar endometriosis symptoms frequently leads to misdiagnosis.
  • Surgical excision is the established treatment of choice for scar endometriosis.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of scar endometriosis is crucial for improving diagnostic rates.
