Presence of endometrial glands and stroma in places other than the uterus is called endometriosis. It can be pelvic or extra-pelvic. Abdominal scar endometriosis is an extra-pelvic endometriosis that can occur after surgery involving the uterus. Post-caesarean section, scar endometriosis is a rare event. The diagnosis is frequently made only after excision of disease tissue. We present a case of post-caesarean section abdominal scar endometriosis presenting as a tumor on the abdominal wall, which was diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology and confirmed by cell block preparation.
子宫内膜腺体和间质出现在子宫以外的部位被称为子宫内膜异位症。它可以是盆腔内的或盆腔外的。腹部瘢痕子宫内膜异位症是一种盆腔外子宫内膜异位症，可发生于涉及子宫的手术后。剖宫产术后，瘢痕子宫内膜异位症是一种罕见的情况。诊断通常仅在切除病变组织后才能做出。我们报告一例剖宫产术后腹部瘢痕子宫内膜异位症表现为腹壁肿瘤的病例，该病例通过细针穿刺细胞学诊断，并经细胞块制备得以证实。
