Abstract
A mass located in a scar area during examination is an infrequent phen omenon. Such a mass can be associated with keloid, hematoma, granuloma . hernia or neoplasm. Two cases of scar endometriosis are reported. Th e late onset of symptoms after surgery (average 4.5 years) is the usua l reason for misdiagnosis. Awareness of this infrequent and late posto perative complication would increase the detection rate. Surgical exci sion remains the treatment of choice and should be accomplished withou t complications.
