Case Report - Cesarean scar endometriosis - Report of two cases
Goel P, Sood SS, Romilla, Dalal A
Abstract
Endometriosis is presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. This condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. We are reporting two cases of scar endometriosis following cesarean section, which were misdiagnosed as stitch granuloma initially. Medical treatment was not helpful. Both the patients required wide surgical excision of the lesion. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are being discussed.
