Abstract

Introduction

Caesarean section incidence is rising and caesarean scar endometriosis could be encountered more in the day to day clinical practice.

Materials and methods

We present three cases of caesarean scar endometriosis which were managed in our unit with excision biopsy.

Conclusions

Complete excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic. FNAC could be a tool to exclude malignancy and allows a quick diagnosis.
