Abstract
Scar endometriosis is a rare form of extrapelvic endometriosis that is usually confused with other surgical or dermatological
conditions leading to delays in diagnosis. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman presenting with a palpable nodule adjacent to her cesarean scar. Complete excision with clear margins was done and sent for histopathological examination confirming the diagnosis of endometriosis. Increasing awareness of this uncommon condition among clinicians can help in early diagnosis and treatment with gratifying results.
