Surgical Scar Endometrioma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Abdominal wall scar is an uncommon condition that may be the underlying cause of acute or chronic recurrent abdominal or pelvic pain, especially after cesarean section due to the implantation of an endometriotic lesion within a pelvic or abdominal wall. Cesarean section scars are the most common site of extraovarian or extrauterine endometriosis. The condition also has been identified in other uterine surgery-related scars and in the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and abdominal and pelvic wall musculature adjacent to these scars. During uterine surgery, unintentional inoculation of endometrial stem cells at the surgical site is the most possible cause of scar endometriosis. This is a case of scar endometriosis following Lower Segment Caesarean Section and diagnosed by excision biopsy. Keywords: Abdominal wall endometriosis, Scar endometriosis, Cesarean section, Extraovarian endometriosis, Extrauterine endometriosis
