This case report describes two patients presenting with cyclical pain and a palpable lump in their abdominal scars following caesarean sections. The authors utilized clinical evaluation and sonological imaging to assess the lesions before confirming the diagnosis through excision biopsy. The study highlights that preoperative diagnosis is frequently mistaken for other surgical conditions due to the rarity of this presentation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it details the clinical features, diagnostic challenges, and management of scar endometriosis as a rare manifestation of the disease.

Abstract

Scar endometriosis following caesarean section is a rare presentation and is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands implants at the incision site. As the patients present with a lump in the abdominal scar, the preoperative diagnosis can be often mistaken with other surgical conditions. We present two cases of post cesarean scar endometriosis. Cyclical pain and scar lump were evaluated both clinically and sonologically; then confirmed by excision biopsy.
