M. Houssa*, Z. Jadaoui, M. Mourabbih, M. Benhessou, S. Bouhya
ABSTRACT
Parietal endometriosis is a rare disease. It can occur on all scars, most often during surgical procedures with hysterotomy. It affects 0.03 to 0.8% of caesarean section scars. The local graft of endometrial cells after opening the musculo-aponeurotic spaces is the most likely pathophysiological mechanism to explain endometriosis on Caesarean section scar. The diagnosis was strongly evoked by clinical examination and confirmed by pathological examination. The surgical treatment must be sufficiently wide to prevent recurrence. We report a new case in a 30- year-old woman who presented a painful mass on a Caesarean section scar that was performed 3 years ago.
