Resumen
CHANDOLA, Stuti y GARG, Anju. Scar endometriosis: Looking beyond the diagnosis - A case series. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1, pp.1-7. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v26i1.2493.
Scar endometriosis usually affects the abdominal wall or the perineum. Virtually all cases are linked with some form of surgical manipulation. Although the clinical diagnosis of scar endometriosis may be straightforward with classical symptomology, imaging with ultrasound and MRI are important for the determination of its extent, which is imperative for adequate preoperative planning. In addition, assessment of perineal scar endometriosis also requires the identification of anal sphincter complex involvement, which can significantly impact the surgical approach. Radiology plays a vital role in its diagnosis in atypical clinical scenarios. CONTRIBUTION: This series of four cases describes the morphology and highlights the importance of imaging in the surgical management of scar endometriosis; three with abdominal wall involvement and one with the involvement of perineum.
