Epizyotomi Skarında Gelişen Endometriozis

Abstract

İki sene önce mediolateral epizyotomi ile normal doğum yapan hasta epizyotomi skarında adet dönemlerinde tekrarlayan ağrı ve şişlik şikayeti ile başvurdu. Yapılan fizik muayenede skar hattı üzerinde 1 x 1 cmlik yarı mobil ve insizyon hattından yaklaşık 1,5 cm derine kadar ilerleyen nodüler semi solid kitle izlendi. Kitle cerrahi olarak eksize edildi. Patolojik inceleme endometriozis tanısını doğruladı. Vajinal doğum sonrasında skar endometriozisi nadir görülen bir durum olmakla beraber bu durum perineal bölgede kitle ve ağrı şikayeti olan hastaların ayırıcı tanısında mutlaka düşünülmelidir.
