Scar endometriosis is a rare pathology resulting after obstetric and gynecologic surgery procedures on abdominal wall which is not pre-diagnosed in differential diagnosis by general surgeons. Six cases referred to General Surgery outpatient clinic with mass on abdominal wall that have been totally excised and diagnosed as endometriosis in pathology laboratory between 2008-2012 , have been reviewed retrospectively with clinic, radiologic and pathologic findings. The presenting symptoms of six pateints were different; four of them referred with cyclic pain and swelling and two with nonspesific symptoms to general surgery outpatient clinic.
