ABSTRACT

Endometriosis is a major gynaecological disorder that affects 5% to 10% of female in their reproductive years. The ectopic implantation of functioning endometrium outside the uterus, with the pelvis being the most common site, is known as endometriosis. Scar endometriosis is difficult and rare to distinguish from other surgical diseases. It can be found in 0.1 percent of women with a scar on their abdomen. These lesions usually follow gynaecological and obstetrical surgeries including laparotomy and laparoscopic approaches of abdominal and pelvic cases. Following a laparoscopic myomectomy, one patient developed scar endometriosis. This rare condition's diagnosis, pathogenesis and treatment are being discussed.
