Abstract

A 24-year-old patient had an 8-month history of intense cyclic pain at the suprapubic trocar scar region. Two years earlier, the patient underwent operative laparoscopy during which endometrioma of the left ovary was removed. We present a case of endometriosis at a suprapubic trocar scar, which, to our knowledge, has previously been described in literature only once. Another rarity involved in this case is that the scar endometriosis developed after the removal of ovarian endometrioma. The most probable source of the trocar scar endometriosis is remnants of the tissue that remained in the abdominal wall during extraction of endometrioma.
