Abdominal Wall Endotnetriomas: Report of Eight Cases

Patterson, Gregory K., Winburn, Ginger B.·1999·The American Surgeon™

Abstract

Eight cases of abdominal wall endometrioma were encountered in seven patients from February 1994 through April 1996. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 36 years, with an average age of 32.8 years. Ten abdominal procedures had been performed on these patients before the diagnosis of endometrioma: six cesarean sections, two diagnostic laparoscopics, one total vaginal hysterectomy, and one ventriculoperitoneal shunt. Symptoms occurred from 6 months to 10 years after their previous surgery. Only one patient had a prior diagnosis of endometriosis. The most common presentation was a cyclic painful abdominal mass. The differential diagnosis included endometrioma in four (50%) of the cases. Diagnostic tests used for preoperative evaluation included ultrasound, fine-needle aspiration, and computed tomography. All patients underwent wide local excision. There was one recurrence, requiring re-excision at 22 months postoperatively. The pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and recent literature are discussed.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • The excision for abdominal wall endometriosis must be wide to remove all potentially involved skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, aponeuroses and peritoneum.

    “the excision must be wide to remove all skin segments, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, aponeuroses and peritoneum potentially involved 2,[24][25][26][27]”
  • Scar endometriosis typically occurs after gynecological or obstetric procedures such as caesarean sections, laparoscopic procedures requiring uterine cavity manipulation, needle tract amniocenteses, or perineal episiotomies.

    “Scar endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis that typically occurs after gynecological or obstetric procedures such as caesarean sections, various laparoscopic procedures that require uterine cavity manipulation, needle tract amniocenteses, or perineal episiotomies [7,8,9].”

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.
