Deciduosis in a cesarean scar

ABSTRACT

Endometriosis is the term used to describe the presence of endometrial tissue at sites other than the uterus. It may rarely arise from scar tissue due to previous abdominal surgery such as cesarean section or episiotomy and may present with some histological features of decidual change, fibrosis, hyperplasia, metaplasia and calcifications. Here we present a case report of a 34 years old gravida who had a nodular thickening of previous surgical scar and it was diagnosed as a case of deciduosis
