Abstract

Endometriosis is described as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Scar endometriosis (SE) is a rare condition which usually develops after gynecologic operations involving the uterus and fallopian tubes. The symptoms are usually nonspecific and cyclic incisional pain increasing by menstruation is the most common symptom. Diagnosis of the disease can be difficult and may be confusing with various other post-surgical conditions. Histopathological examination reveals the final diagnosis.
