Rajyalakshmi. R, Lakshmi C. V, Beulah Priscilla

Abstract :

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial–like glands and stroma outside the uterus and includes intra and extrapelvic locations. Extra pelvic endometriosis is less common, with abdominal wall as a site in 0.5%– 1% cases. FNA is very useful and is a first line diagnostic modality in diagnosing these lesions. We reported eleven cases of scar endometriosis by FNAC during a period of two years. The cyto, histopathological features and differential diagnoses are discussed.
