Abstract
Scar endometriosis is a rare occurrence. Endometriosis is presence of endometrium at ectopic sites, other than the uterine cavity. Though the common sites of endometriosis are pelvic structures, extra pelvic endometriosis is occasionally seen. But presence of endometriosis in previous incision scars is extremely rare. Endometriosis in abdominal incision sites following Cesarean scions, hysterectomy, ovarian endometrioma removal are described. Very few cases of endometriosis at episiotomy site are also described in literature. This case report describes two such cases of scar endometriosis. The first case had scar endometriosis following a laparotomy done for rudimentary horn pregnancy. The second case had endometriosis in the scar of previous laparoscopic surgeries, performed for ovarian endometrioma.
