Introduction: Endometriosis refers to the implantation and growth of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The common sites include ovaries, pelvic peritoneum, deep pelvic subperitoneal spaces, intestinal system, and urinary system. Endometriosis of a uterine scar is extremely rare. Uterine scar endometriosis has been described in women of reproductive ages following an obstetrical or gynaecological surgery.
