چکیده
Scar endometriosis is an infrequent type of extrapelvic endometriosis that is rather close together with obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. It is mostly confused with other dermatological or surgical conditions and delays the diagnosis.

The epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of the situation are discussed.
