Scar endometriosis – A series of six patients
Open accessAbstract
INTRODUCTION: Scar endometriosis is a rare form of extrapelvic endometriosis that is usually confused with other surgical or dermatological conditions leading to delay in diagnosis. METHODS: We reviewed the case records of patients with the diagnosis of scar endometriosis seen in our hospital from January 1996 to December 2008. RESULTS: We found six patients of scar endometriosis in 13 years making it one of the rare conditions. The median age of the patients was 32.5 years (range 28-37 years) and median interval from symptoms to treatment was 2 years (range 1-6 years). Four patients had first presented to either the surgery or dermatology physicians. Cyclic pain and swelling at local site was the most common presenting symptoms. All patients underwent wide excision of the mass with no recurrence of symptoms at a follow up ranging from 9 months to 12 years. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing awareness of this condition among doctors can help in early diagnosis and treatment with gratifying results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
