Abstract: Scar endometriosis is a disease of abdominal wall and generally develops after obstetric or gynecological operations. After caesarean section, prevalence is reported to be between 0.03-0.4% whereas, this increases as high as 5.08% after second trimester hysterotomy. Preoperative diagnosis of scar endometriosis is difficult because scar endometriosis are similar to some pathologies including abcess, lipoma, hematoma, incisional hernia, desmoid tumor, sarcoma, lymphoma and primer or metastatic carcinoma. Menstruation related mass and pain with a palpable subcutaneous lesion in patients with a history of obstetric or gynecological surgery should raise the suspicion of scar endometriosis after exclusion of other pathologies. In this article, we reviewed three cases of scar endometriosis and ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance imaging features of mass with regard to the current literature perspective.
