It is a very rare condition which is commonly misdiagnosed.</p> <p><strong>Case report:</strong> We report two cases of scar endometriosis which developed after caesarean section. One case was misdiagnosed as a keloid for a long duration (12 years) and other one was not diagnosed despite the characteristic presenting symptoms. Both the cases underwent surgical excision with free resection margins and histopathological confirmation of diagnosis.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Clinicians must be aware of varying presentations of scar endometriosis to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Bhutan Health Journal}, author={Dorji, Namkha and Tshering, Sangay and Choden, Sonam}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={34–37} }
