Abstract
- 1.1. Attention is directed to a group of endometrial tumors occurring in postcesarean abdominal wall laparotomy scars.
- 2.2. We believe these tumors to represent proliferations of fragments of uterine mucosa inadvertently transplanted into the abdominal wound during a previous hysterotomy.
- 3.3. Clinical features, including the pathognomonic comenstrual pain, pathology, and pathogenesis are discussed.
- 4.4. Prophylaxis and treatment are outlined.
