Abstract
Endometriosis is the ectopic location of the endometrial stroma and glands outside the uterine cavity. Skin endometriosis is usually seen after cesarean section. Patients usually have pain, swelling and sometimes bleeding at the scar site associated with menstruation. The definitive diagnosis in these patients is surgical excision. In this case, a painful growing mass was detected 5 cm from the incision site of the patient who applied with the complaint of swelling and pain in the incision area 2 years after the cesarean section. He was hospitalized with a preliminary diagnosis of endometriosis with ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging findings. The mass was totally excised and sent to pathology. The diagnosis of endometriosis was confirmed in the pathological examination. Endometriosis should not be ignored in the differential diagnosis of anterior abdominal wall masses in female patients.
