ABDOMINAL WALL SCAR ENDOMETRIOSIS AFTER CESAREAN SECTION; A RARE CASE REPORT WITH MULTI FOCUS
Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2023, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
Endometriosis is described as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Scar endometriosis (SE) is a rare condition which usually develops after gynecologic operations involving the uterus and fallopian tubes. The symptoms are usually nonspecific and cyclic incisional pain increasing by menstruation is the most common symptom. Diagnosis of the disease can be difficult and may be confusing with various other post-surgical conditions. Histopathological examination reveals the final diagnosis. This article presents a case with cesarian SE of which the largest reaches 5x4x3 cm with multiple foci. Scar endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses in the patients with a history of abdominal surgery and cyclic painful solid mass.
