Ossificação heterotópica em saco herniário incisional

Abstract: The heterotopic ossification (HO) on abdominal scars is a rare but very unconfortable finding. It causes pain, induration and discomfort in the scar, leading patients to undergo reoperation. This report aims to describe a case of HO, and especially to call attention of surgeons to fibroblast transforming potential, once its close relationship with HO is undeniable. Therefore the surgeon should endeavor all atempts on good surgical practice to avoid HO occurrence. He should also associate pure tissue repair tec… Show more

“…The tempting possibility of using the hernial sac as part of the incisional hernia repairs, associated with the relaxing of the incisions without damaging the abdominal wall was defended by Lázaro da Silva, more than 50 years ago 10 - 12 , 27 . Soft muscle fibers, vascular neoformation and heterotopic tissues were described as an autologous graft in the peritoneal hernial sac 28 , 30 .…”

“…Some incidental findings in the HS, such as smooth muscle cells 3 and heterotopic ossification 4 , can be a final stage of metaplasia from primitive cells. By a similar biological process, the "epithelial-to-mesenchymal" transition of these cells, and finally to fibroblasts, is the mechanism responsible for peritoneal fibrosis that occurs in some patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, rendering this alternative route of renal clearance unfeasible 5 .…”

“…The etiology of HO is still uncertain. 2 It may be primary – rare and hereditary – known as progressive or secondary myositis ossificans, precipitated by musculoskeletal trauma or neurological disease. 3 In 60–75% of cases, it is a post-traumatic complication (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and surgical trauma), but it may also be associated with certain conditions, such as myelodysplasia, tabes dorsalis, large burn injuries, spinal tumors, tetanus, poliomyelitis, meningoencephalitis, and multiple sclerosis.…”
