ABSTRACT
Abdominal wall endometriosis, also known as scar endometriosis, is extremely rare and mainly occurs at surgical scar sites. To our knowledge, 15 case reports related to trocar site endometriosis have been published in the English language and literature to date. The traditional age old management of scar endometriosis has been wide local excision leaving a healthy margin, but recently laparoscopy has emerged out to be the management of choice even in cases of scar endometriosis. Herein, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman (who had been previously operated on for left ovarian endometrioma 11 years ago by laparoscopy) with the complaint of a painful mass at the right suprapubic trocar site in a cyclic pattern. Consequently, the scar endometriosis was excised laparoscopically, following which the patient was completely relieved of her symptoms.
