Abstract
Endometriosis in the abdominal scar following cesarean section is a rare event, but may be more frequent than estimated from the literature. Five cases collected over 5 years are presented suggesting an incidence over 1 percent. Diagnosis and management are discussed and the literature regarding this entity is reviewed. Newer methods of treatment are available, but surgical excision remains the method of choice.
