Scar endometriosis is a rare form of extrapelvic endometriosis that is usually confused with other surgical or dermatological conditions leading to delays in diagnosis. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman presenting with a palpable nodule adjacent to her cesarean scar. Complete excision with clear margins was done and sent for histopathological examination confirming the diagnosis of endometriosis. Increasing awareness of this uncommon condition among clinicians can help in early diagnosis and treatment with gratifying results.
La drépanocytose SC constitue le second des syndromes drépanocytaires majeurs. La grossesse chez cette catégorie de la population est associée à une morbi-mortalité materno-foetale élevée. Nous présentons un cas de grossesse chez une femme drépanocytaire hétérozygote composite SC compliquée de pré-éclampsie sévère avec mort foetale in utero et décès maternel dans un tableau de syndrome thoracique aigu. L’évolution fatale montre parfaitement le caractère gravissime de cette pathologie et l'importance d'une prise en charge multidisciplinaire.
