Abstract
Objective: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of functioning endometrial tissue in non-uterine locations, is a relatively common disease in women of reproductive age (10-15%). Besides that, cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE) is rarely seen; the clinical presentation of the disease is mainly in the form of a painful mass at the cesarean incision site.
 Method: Ten patients, whose diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically by surgery with CSE anterior chamber, were evaluated in terms of clinical and histopathological features.
 Results: The mean age of patients was 35 (min-max:22-45). Six (75%) of patients with pain symptoms were cyclic, and 2 (25%) were noncyclic. The mean latency period (time from last cesarean section to the beginning of symptoms) was 44,6 (min-max:6-88) months, and the mean duration between symptoms and surgery was 28,9 (min-max:2-60) months. Six (60%) of endometriomas were located right corner of the incision, and 4 (40%) were at the left. All of the endometriomas were solitary. The mean hospitalization time was 2,5 (min-max:1-6) days.
 Conclusion: Excision of endometriotic foci within 1 cm safety margins may be an appropriate curative treatment option.
