Caesarean Scar Endometriosis May Require Abdominoplasty
Open accessAbstract
Endometriosis is defined as an ectopic presence of endometrium-like tissue outside uterine cavity, which most commonly involves intraperitoneal organs. However, one of the less frequent forms of the disease is abdominal wall endometriosis usually developing in surgical scars following obstetric and gynaecological surgeries involving uterine cavity entering, that is, caesarean section, myomectomy or hysterectomy. In this case report we present a case of a patient with extensive caesarean scar endometriosis, who required complex surgical management. Successful surgical treatment involved not only radical tumour resection and application of mesh in postoperative hernia prevention but also adequate wound closure ensuring satisfactory cosmetic results, which was most challenging. The abdominal wall defect could not be sutured by traditional technique, thus polypropylene mesh was used and partial abdominoplasty was performed. The wound healed without complication and 24-month follow-up showed no evidence of local recurrence and satisfactory cosmetic result. In case of extensive endometrial abdominal wall tumours surgical treatment may involve application of advanced plastic surgery techniques, like abdominoplasty or skin/musculocutaneous flaps transposition.

TL;DR
A 37-year-old woman with a 12 cm × 6 cm caesarean scar endometriotic tumour underwent wide excision with a 1 cm margin, polypropylene mesh repair, and partial abdominoplasty. At 24-month follow-up, there was no local recurrence and the cosmetic result was satisfactory.
Key findings
- The patient presented with a 12 cm × 6 cm exophytic abdominal wall tumour in a caesarean section scar; pain began 2 years after caesarean section with a 2 cm tumour and the tumour enlarged over the next 2 years.
- Wide local excision with a 1 cm margin of healthy tissue was performed; the endometrioma involved the rectus abdominis muscle fascia, requiring wide fascia excision, and side-to-side linear fascia closure was impossible, so non-absorbable polypropylene mesh was used in the retro-rectus space.
- The skin was extensively undermined and mobilized with perforator-vessel preservation, and partial abdominoplasty achieved tension-free skin closure; the wound healed without complication, and the patient was discharged 2 days after surgery with sutures removed after 10 days.
- Pathology confirmed external endometriosis; 12- and 24-month follow-up showed no evidence of local recurrence, satisfactory cosmetic result, and symptom relief.
Methods
- Single case report of a 37-year-old Caucasian woman admitted with a large caesarean scar abdominal wall tumour.
- Surgical management included wide local excision with a 1 cm margin, fascia excision, retro-rectus polypropylene mesh placement, extensive perforator-sparing skin undermining, partial abdominoplasty, and subcutaneous suction drainage; no perioperative antibiotics were used.
- Follow-up at 12 and 24 months assessed local recurrence, cosmetic result, and symptom relief.
Limitations
- Not stated in the paper: there is no formal limitations section. Evident from the design: this is a single case report with no control or comparison group, so it cannot establish efficacy or generalizability.
- Evident from the text: follow-up was limited to 24 months, so longer-term recurrence and cosmetic outcomes are unknown.
- The paper notes that extensive skin flap dissection may be associated with higher local complication rates such as haematoma, seroma, wound dehiscence, and infection, although this patient did not have listed risk factors such as overweight/obesity, tobacco smoking, diabetes mellitus, or age ≥65 years.

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.
Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-10.

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.
