Abstract
Endometriosis of a surgical scar is rare and occurs mainly when a hysterectomy
or Cesarean section was performed. We describe a 54-year-old woman with a large
suprapubic mass as a definite case of a endomerioid carcinoma developing within
the scar endometriosis following Cesarean section. Scar endometriosis, as well
as endometriosis at other sites, can turn malignant. Endometrioid carcinoma is
the most common histological pattern of malignant tumor arising in
endometriosis. But clear cell carcinoma is very unusual. A case of primary clear
cell carcinoma in endometriosis of a Cesarean section scar is described. To the
best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of endomerioid
carcinoma developing within the scar endometriosis in Korea.
