Abstract EN
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA C) is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic modality which can be performed with ease on any superficially palpable lesion.
Surgical scar endometriosis is a rare entity which presents as an abdominal lump in women of reproductive age.
It is often a diagnostic pitfall for clinicians due to its nonspecific symptoms.
It displays characteristic morphology, which needs to be identified and recognized by a cytopathologist for accurate diagnosis.
FNA C can be used as a key diagnostic tool in cases of abdominal wall mass for appropriate patient management, thereby avoiding unnecessary diagnostic procedures.
Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with an abdominal lump where FNA C played a vital role in the patient’s management
