Abstract

Background: Surgical scar endometriosis is a subtype of extra-pelvic endometriosis that is characterized by the formation of endometrial gland and stroma near the incision site in patients who have previously undergone surgery. In recent times, with the increasing trend in Caesarean sections, the incidence of surgical scar endometriosis has also emerged.  But early diagnosis usually leads to a good prognosis.

Methods: The article is a case series; therefore, no specific methods have been applied.

Results: Here we present six cases of endometriosis in the cesarean section scar that we have encountered in Gazi Medical College Hospital, Khulna, in the last 4 years (Jan 2020-Dec 2023).

Conclusion: Abdominal wall endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of masses located at cesarean section incision scars, which should be excised for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
