“…Larger lesions extend deeper and feed from the rich vasculature of the rectus sheath (via deep branches of inferior and superior epigastric arteries). However, small lesions are located in hypovascular subcutaneous fat, thus their growth is limited (13)(14)(15). In the presence of a rapidly growing, painless mass and the absence of previous surgery, malignant soft tissue masses in the abdominal wall should be considered in the imaging differential diagnosis.…”

Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare condition defined by the presence of endometrial tissue in the subcutaneous fatty layer and the muscles of the abdominal wall. It is usually caused by the dissemination of endometrial tissue in the wound at the time of obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. AWE is rare and difficult to diagnose. The most frequent clinical presentation is that of a palpable subcutaneous mass near surgical scars associated with cyclic pain and swelling during menses. AWE may be an underreported pathology partly because it has scarcely received attention in the radiologic literature. Its frequency is expected to rise along with the increasing rate of cesarean deliveries; thus, it is important that physicians or sonographers are familiar with this pathology. The purpose of our review is to present the latest data regarding risk factors, clinical and imagisticfindings, and management of AWE.

“…Az ultrahanggépek fejlődésével az eszköztár is növekedett; a strain elasztográfia elkülöníti egymástól a keményebb és puhább szöveteket, és mivel az endometrium-csomó a környezeténél keményebb szövetként ábrázolódik, mely jól elhatárolódik az azt körülvevő lágy részektől, segíthet a műtét pontos megtervezésében -differenciáldiagnosztikai hasznossága azonban vitatható. A háromdimenziós ultrahangkép-alkotás hasfali endometriosis esetén, főként ha a szélek egyenetlenek, spikuláltak, hasznos a műtét előtti térfogat, a mélységi terjedés becslésében, ezzel elősegítve, hogy az endometrioma az ép részben legyen eltávolítva [19]. Mivel erezettsége fokozott, a kontrasztanyag adása az ultrahangvizsgálat során nem vezet pluszinformációhoz.…”

The incidence of endometriosis, including atypical forms of the disease, has been continuously growing, thus increasingly challenging for the imaging specialists as well. We conducted a retrospective study to analyze the results of ultrasound-guided interventions between 2016 and 2018. All interventions were performed in female patients due to uncertain abdominal wall lesions at the University of Szeged, Hungary. The abdominal wall lesions were incidentally detected, one by CT, the others by ultrasound examinations. We identified 12 cases during the study period. The average age of the patients was 59 years (29–79), 8 of them had abdominal surgery in their medical history. The mean diameter of the masses was 34.4 mm (20–49 mm). Since the indication of imaging examinations was the evaluation of a known or suspected malignancy, four patients had undergone an MRI prior to the biopsy. In addition, ultrasound-guided biopsy was not performed in another two patients, and the diagnosis was established by histological examination of the surgically removed specimens. The histological examination revealed malignant primary serous epithelial tumor in one case, metastases in six cases, endometriosis in six patients and abdominal wall abscess was found in one patient. Endometriosis was more frequent in the younger patients. The likelihood of endometriosis as a cause of abdominal wall lesions of younger, premenopausal female patients is rather high, especially with obstetrical or gynaecological operations in the medical history. Ultrasound plays a primary role in the detection and therapy planning of these lesions. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(35): 1395–1403.
