Abstract EN
Abdominal wall endometriosis in a Caesarean section scar (AEC) is an infrequent type of extrapelvic endometriosis which rarely transforms into a malignant lesion.
A painful mass located in the scar of a Caesarean section is a typical sign of AEC.
This condition is diagnosed preoperatively using imaging modalities such as computed tomography and ultrasonography, as well as fine-needle aspiration.
Although AEC has typical signs, general surgeons often misdiagnose it due to its rarity.
Herein, we report our experience of AEC in a single institution.
