A Case of Ectopic Endometriosis in Surgical Scar after Cesarean Section

Abstract

Cesarean section scar endometriosis is a rare condition.
We report a case of ectopic endometriosis in surgical scar after cesarean section scar.
A 42-year old woman complained of painful abdominal mass at the site of an old cesarean section scar. Physical examination revealed a slightly tender subcutaneous nodule at the left edge of the scar. The CT examination showed a high-density mass in the abdomen. Ultrasonographic imaging showed hypoechoic subcutaneous mass lesion. The subcutaneous mass was excised under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of ectopic endometriosis.
