Endometriosis may be defined as presence of functioning endometrium (glands and stroma) in sites other than uterine mucosa. The prevalence of endometriosis is about 10%. According to Nominato, cesarean section remains the most common surgical procedure related to the development of abdominal wall scar endometriosis1. But endometriosis sometimes presented to general surgeons as a lump in the abdomen. It can pose a diagnostic dilemma and should be in the differential diagnosis of lumps in the abdomen in females. Diagnosis is usually made following histological examination. This is a case report of abdominal wall endometriosis following cesarean section. This report discusses and evaluates the incidence, course, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this condition.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2017; 35(3): 147-149

 Endometriosis is defined as presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. This condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. We are reporting one case of scar endometriosis involving rectus sheath following cesarean section. The patient required wide surgical excision of the lesion. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this rare condition are being discussed. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njog.v9i2.11764
