It is a very rare condition which is commonly misdiagnosed.\nCase report: We report two cases of scar endometriosis which developed after caesarean section. One case was misdiagnosed as a keloid for a long duration (12 years) and other one was not diagnosed despite the characteristic presenting symptoms. Both the cases underwent surgical excision with free resection margins and histopathological confirmation of diagnosis.\nConclusions: Clinicians must be aware of varying presentations of scar endometriosis to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.\nDownloads\nPublished\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2021 Dr Namkha Dorji, Dr Sangay Tshering, Dr Sonam Choden\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.\nBHJ allow to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles and allow readers to use them for any other lawful purpose.
