“…Minaglia et al who analyzed 30 years of incisional endometriosis after caesarean section found the incidence of scar endometriosis to be 0.08% [4]. Ectopic pregnancies, salpingostomy puerperal sterilization, laparoscopy, amniocentesis, appendectomy, episiotomy, vaginal hysterectomies, and hernia repair are the other surgical factors for scar endometriosis [5–7]. The reported incidence after midtrimester abortion is about 1% also after cesarean sections ranging from 0.03% to 0.45% [8].…”

Scar endometriosis is an infrequent type of extrapelvic endometriosis that is rather close together with obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. It is mostly confused with other dermatological or surgical conditions and delays the diagnosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old woman presenting with scar endometriosis 23 years after her last lower segment caesarean section. The epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of the situation are discussed.

“…In addition, if the clinician does not suspect this rare condition in the differential diagnosis and does not warn the pathologist, making a histopathological diagnosis might be problematic. At least two of the endometrial stroma, endometrial-like glands and hemosiderin pigments must be looked for during the pathological examination (13) ; however, if the pathologist is not informed about this differential diagnosis in the absence of endometrial glands, the endometrial stroma and macrophages could be underdiagnosed. It has been reported in the literature that not cleaning the surgical site with saline after the surgery and the use of sutures or sponges contaminated with endometrial cells lead to the development of endometriosis on the abdominal wall.…”

Objective: In this study, the characteristics of patients who were treated in our General Surgery Clinic with extragenital endometriosis are described. In addition, increasing the awareness of clinicians to these rare situations.is aimed. were included in the study. The data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed from their files. Demographic data, anamnesis and physical examination findings, localizations, and number of endometriomas with endometriosis were recorded. Results: Sixteen patients who met the study criteria were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 32.8±6.9 (min-max: 21-44) years and 14 (87.5%) patients were premenopausal women while all cases had undergone at least one or more than one cesarean sections The most frequent symptom was palpable mass (n=15) and followed by cyclic pain (n=12). Extragenital endometriomas were located close to the cesarean section scar in 13 (81.25%), on umbilical region in two and inguinal region in one patient. The mean diameter of the masses was 39.5±18.1 mm (min-max: 10-75 mm). The mean follow-up period of the patients was 43 months (range: 18-79 months). During the follow-up period, recurrence was detected in one patient. Conclusion: Extrapelvic endometrioma should be suspected in the differential diagnosis in patients who had undergone gynecologic or obstetric surgery and had a mass lesion developed on the abdominal wall regardless of the presence of cyclic pain. ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmada, ekstragenital endometriozis nedeni ile Genel Cerrahi kliniğimizde opere edilmiş hastaların özellikleri tanımlanmaktadır. Ek olarak klinisyenlerin bu nadir durumlar karşısında farkındalığının artırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Ocak 2010 ile Ocak 2017 yılları arasında Genel Cerrahi Kliniğinde opere edilmiş hastalar çalışmaya alınmıştır. Hastaların verileri dosyalarından geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir. Hastaların demografik verileri, öykü ve fizik bakı bulguları, endometriozis yerleşimleri ve sayıları kayıt edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışma kriterlerine uygun olan 16 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 32, 8±6,9 (21-44) idi. On dört (%87,5) hastanın premenopozal dönemde olduğu, tüm olgulara en az bir ya da daha fazla sezaryen uygulandığı saptanmıştır. En sık saptanan semptom ele gelen kitle (n=15) iken, ikinci sıklıkla siklik ağrı (n=12) olduğu bulundu. Ekstragenital endometrioma 13 (%81,25) hastada sezaryen skarına yakın yerleşimli iken, iki hastada umblikal, bir hastada ise inguinal bölge yerleşimli idi. Kitlelerin ortalama çapı 39,5±18,1 mm (10-75 mm) idi. Ortalama izlem süresi 43 ay (18-79 ay) idi. İzlem süresince bir hastada rekürrens saptandı. Sonuç: Jinekolojik veya obstetrik bir ameliyat geçirmiş bir hastada karın duvarında gelişen kitlelerde siklik ağrı olsun ya da olmasın ayırıcı tanıda ekstragenital endometriomadan şüphelenilmelidir.Anahtar kelimeler: Cerrah, ekstragenital endometriozis, sezaryen Alındığı tarih: 28.

“…Presenting symptoms were noted to include abdominal mass, cyclical and non-cyclical pain with dysmenorrhea [3,4]. Although rather uncommon, endometriosis can occur in the postmenopausal (oestrogen-deprived) state [5], and usually occur in women who undergo unopposed oestrogen replacement therapy [6].…”

IntroductionWe discuss a rare presentation of an unusual case of endometrioma.Case presentationA 40-year-old Caucasian woman presented with subacute abdominal pain and a suprapubic mass. A final diagnosis was made after the mass was resected and histopathology confirmed an endometrioma originating from an urachal remnant. Select imaging studies and histopathology are presented in this case report.ConclusionWhile endometriomata are well known to arise from abdominal scars, the condition described in this case report is a rare example of an endometrioma arising from the urachus. A review of the pathological complications of the urachus is also included.
