Incisional Endometriosis: Report of Two Cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Endometriosis is the presence of functioning endometrium-like stroma and glands outside the uterine cavity. Incisional endometriosis is often misdiagnosed and confused with other surgical pathologies and delays the diagnosis. Medical treatment is ineffective and requires a wide surgical excision. We report two cases of abdominal wall endometriosis presenting 7- 14 years after lower segment caesarean section. Scar endometriosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis in a female patient presenting with an abdominal wall mass following gynaecological surgery. Keywords: Endometriosis, Abdominal, Histopathology.
