Parietal Mass: Two Case Reports of Rare Cesarean Scar Endometriosis

Cureus. 2020 Feb 8;12(2):e6918. doi: 10.7759/cureus.6918.

Abstract

Scar endometriosis is an uncommon type of extra-pelvic endometriosis. However, it should be suspected in any woman of childbearing age complaining of a cyclic, painful nodule in a scar from a previous obstetric or gynecologic procedure, after excluding other differential diagnoses. The treatment of choice is surgical resection. We report two cases of scar endometriosis that appeared in two young ladies after cesarean sections, discovered by a parietal mass near the cesarean scars.
