Abdominal wall endometriosis in patients with a history of cesarian section.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to review the characteristics, intraoperative and radiological findings of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). METHODS:This retrospective observational cohort study was executed through analysis of the medical records of patients who underwent excision of AWE between January 2000 and June 2017. All the diagnoses were confirmed pathologically. Characteristics, intraoperative and radiological findings of patients with AWE were and analyzed. RESULTS:Each of the 20 patients had a history of at least one prior cesarean section. The main presenting symptoms were pain (70%). Ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 95% and 45 % of the patients, respectively. One patient (5%) was investigated by 18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography - computed tomography. The preoperative radiological diagnosis was correcting in 55 % of the cases. The mean diameter of the masses was 4.7 ± 1.53 cm. Recurrence was found only in one patient during 36-month follow-up. DISCUSSION:Meticulous anamnesis, accurate clinical examination and proper imaging studies, are important guides for diagnosis. CONCLUSION:AWE should be kept in mind when pain or mass is detected on the abdominal wall of women who have cesarean section history. KEY WORDS:Abdominal wall endometriosis, Cesarean section, Radiology, Scar endometriosis. :Si tratta di uno studio retrospettivo osservazionale finalizzato a riconsiderare le caratteristiche, gli aspetti radiologici ed intraoperatori della di endometriosi della parete addominale (AWE), sulla base delle cartelle cliniche di pazienti sottoposte ad exeresi chirurgica della lesione nel periodo compreso tra Gennaio 2000 e Giugno 2017. La diagnosi risulta confermata per tutte con l’anatomia patologica, e sono state analizzate i rilievi radiologici ed i reperti intraoperatori. Ciascuna delle 20 pazienti della casistica presentava una storia di almeno un precedente taglio cesareo, ed il principale sintomo lamentato (70%) era il dolore. Lo studio diagnostico si è basato sugli ultrasuoni nel 95% dei casi e sulla RMN nel 45%. Una paziente (5%) è stata studiata con la PET mediante 18 Fluorodeoxyglucose. La diagnosi radiologica preoperatoria è risultata corretta nel 55% dei casi. Il diametro medio della massa era di 4.7 ± 1.53 cm. Si è registrata una sola recidiva in una paziente lungo un periodo di controllo di 36 mesi. Guida essenziale per la diagnosi solo l’anamnesi accurata, un attento esame clinico ed adeguate indagini strumentali per imaging. L’endometriosi della parete addominale va sospettata in presenza di una massa nella parete addominale o dolore in donne già sottoposte a taglio cesareo.
