Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, non-invasive diagnostic modality which can be performed with ease on any superficially palpable lesion. Surgical scar endometriosis is a rare entity which presents as an abdominal lump in women of reproductive age. It is often a diagnostic pitfall for clinicians due to its nonspecific symptoms. It displays characteristic morphology, which needs to be identified and recognized by a cytopathologist for accurate diagnosis. FNAC can be used as a key diagnostic tool in cases of abdominal wall mass for appropriate patient management, thereby avoiding unnecessary diagnostic procedures. Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old woman who presented with an abdominal lump where FNAC played a vital role in the patient's management.
细针穿刺细胞学检查（FNAC）是一种简单、无创的诊断方法，可轻松用于任何体表可触及的病变。手术瘢痕子宫内膜异位症是一种罕见的病症，在育龄女性中表现为腹部肿块。由于其症状不具特异性，它常常给临床医生带来诊断难题。它具有特征性形态，细胞病理学家需要识别并认识到这一点才能做出准确诊断。对于腹壁肿块病例，FNAC可作为关键的诊断工具，以实现对患者的恰当管理，从而避免不必要的诊断程序。在此，我们报告一例35岁女性患者，她因腹部肿块就诊，FNAC在该患者的管理中发挥了至关重要的作用。
