description Scar endometriosis refers to the presence of endometrial glands and stroma at the site of a scar. Hemangiomas, on the other hand, are benign vascular tumors. In this case report, we unravel the clinical enigma around a patient who presented with a painful mass at the previous cesarean section scar site. Initially, we were confident that this was ectopic endometrium presenting as scar endometriosis. However, our journey took an unexpected turn when histopathological findings contradicted our clinical suspicions. Here, we delve into the intricate details of this captivating case, shedding light on the complexities of the diagnosis we faced.
