GOULART, Patrícia et al. Endometriosis implants after cesarean section: more than a scar - a case report. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.1, pp.70-73. ISSN 1646-5830.

Introduction: Scar endometriosis after a cesarean section is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands implants at the incision site. It is an uncommon presentation of endometriosis. The diagnosis may be difficult, since it is based in non-specific symptoms, and it can be confused with other surgical conditions. Case Report: The authors report a case of a 35-year-old woman with a cyclic painful nodule at the left side of a cesarean section scar and no previous history of endometriosis. Conclusion: Management and preventive measures of this entity are discussed.

Keywords : Endometriosis; Scar; Cesarean section.
