Abstract
Endometriosis is the presence of functioning endometrium outside the uterus. Endometriosis rarely occurs in the surgical scar of abdominal wall and is difficult to diagnose without pathological assessment. The symptoms are non-specific, typically involving cyclic abdominal wall pain around the incision site at the time for menstruation. It commonly occurs following obstetrical or gynaecological surgical procedures. We report a case of scar endometriosis following caesarean section.
Keywords: Endometriosis, caesarean scar endometriosis, abdominal wall pain.
