Abstract

Background: The abdominal wall is the commonest site of extrapelvic endometriosis, which usually develops in association with a prior surgical scar. Case: A 28-year-old woman with two endometriomas in the recti abdominis, which developed in a scarless abdomen. Conclusions: Abdominal wall endometrioma can develop spontaneously in the absence of prior surgical scar and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal wall masses.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Endometriosis is known to develop spontaneously and is usually found near or at the site of scars of surgeries such as hysterectomies, caesarean sections, laparoscopies, tubal ligations, and episiotomies.

    “It is known to develop spontaneously [6] and is usually found near or at the site of scars of surgeries like hysterectomies, caesarean sections, laparoscopies, tubal ligations, and episiotomies [4,7].”

    From 5-Year data analysis of patients following abdominal wall endometrioma surgery (2014) · cites this paper as [6]

  • The direct mechanical implantation theory cannot explain all cases of primary cutaneous endometriosis without prior abdominal surgery.

    “However, this theory cannot explain all cases where few cases of primary cutaneous endometriosis without prior abdominal surgery such as vulva, perineum, groin, umbilicus, and extremities, hence these types of endometriosis could be caused by tubal retrograde spread, genetic and immunologic influences, lymphatic and vascular spread [15].”

  • The mass of CSE appears hypoechoic and heterogeneous with messy internal echoes on ultrasound.

    “The mass will appear hypoechoic and heterogeneous with messy internal echoes [15], [17].”

  • Ultrasonography is the best and most accessible, reliable, and cost-effective imaging technique to diagnose CSE.

    “We also need to use ultrasonographic examination to prove our suggestion, it is the best and most accessible, reliable, and cost-effective imaging technique to diagnose CSE.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
