Abstract
Scar endometriosis is a rare form of extra pelvic endometriosis that is usually confused with other surgical or dermatological conditions leading to delay in diagnosis. In our study we are reporting a case series of 6 patients presenting with the diagnosis of scar endometriosis seen in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2016. We found six patients of scar endometriosis in a period of 9 years making it one of the rare conditions. The mean age of the patients was 32 years (range 28 to 37 years) and median interval from symptoms to treatment was 2 years (range 2 to7 years). Cyclic pain and swelling at local site were the most common presenting symptoms. Diagnosis is made by ultrasonography and FNAC lesion. All patients underwent wide excision of the lesion with no recurrence of symptoms at a follow up ranging from 9 months to 12 years. Post operative diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Increasing awareness of this condition among doctors would help in accurate diagnosis. This not only avoids delay in diagnosis but also helps in providing effective management.
