Resection and Abdominal Wall Reconstruction for Cesarean Scar Endometriosis
Open accessAbstract
Introduction. Currently, there are few reports describing the use of reconstructive techniques in the treatment of cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE). Here, we report a case of CSE, a rare form of endometriosis caused by scars from obstetric and gynecological surgeries. Case Report. A 50-year-old woman became aware of a painful, deep scar mass in her lower abdomen during her menstrual period 10 years after her second cesarean section. This was diagnosed as CSE after the biopsy. Under general anesthesia, the mass, a portion of the rectus abdominis, and a 1 cm tumor-free margin were resected as a whole, and the abdominal wall was reconstructed with a soft artificial mesh. Results. No obvious recurrence or subjective symptoms were observed postoperatively or reported in the 1-year follow-up period. Discussion. Endometriosis appearing in a cesarean scar is rare; it is chiefly triggered by intraoperative mechanical implantation. In cases of surgical scar masses with a history of gynecological surgery and associated menstrual symptoms, this syndrome should be considered during diagnosis and treatment.

TL;DR
A 50-year-old woman with a painful lower abdominal mass 10 years after her second cesarean section was diagnosed with cesarean scar endometriosis and treated by en bloc resection with a 1 cm margin plus abdominal wall reconstruction using artificial mesh. She had no apparent recurrence or complications during 1-year follow-up.
Key findings
- The patient presented with a golf ball-sized hard mass under a transverse cesarean scar, with high CA19-9 (152.21 U/mL) and CA125 (48.0 U/mL); excisional biopsy confirmed endometriosis.
- Surgery resected the mass together with part of the rectus abdominis and a 1 cm tumor-free margin, partially resected the posterior rectus sheath, and reconstructed the abdominal wall with a soft artificial mesh.
- Histopathology showed endometrial tissue, hemosiderin, phagocytic histiocytes, and granulation tissue.
- No obvious recurrence, subjective symptoms, or complications such as hematoma, infection, or hernia were reported during the 1-year follow-up period.
Methods
- Single case report of a 50-year-old woman with a history of two cesarean sections and a painful lower abdominal mass appearing during menstruation.
- Diagnostic workup included MRI, blood tests for CA19-9 and CA125, and excisional biopsy; treatment was surgical resection under general anesthesia with artificial mesh reconstruction.
- Postoperative follow-up was clinical, with recurrence and complications assessed over 1 year.
Limitations
- Stated: the paper notes that long-term postoperative results cannot be determined at this time and require careful follow-up.
- Evident: this is a single case report with no comparison group, so treatment outcomes and generalizability are limited.
- Evident: the 1-year follow-up is short for assessing recurrence or late mesh-related complications.

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.
