Abdominal Wall Endometriosis at the Cesarean Section Scar.

Abdominal wall endometriosis is atypical localization of the extra-pelvic endometriosis with non-specific symptoms and is difficult for diagnosis. Cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE) is the most common type of abdominal wall endometriosis, which usually develops after obstetric operations. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman who had two previous cesarean sections presented with a mass in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal wall, approximately 4 cm superior to the Pfannenstiel incision, 5 years after her second lower segment caesarean section. The classic clinical presentation, imaging findings on ultrasonography and computed tomography are analyzed. Treatment with local surgical excision of the mass is discussed. The diagnosis was confirmed with histopathological analysis of the surgical sample. When it comes to the limited painful lesion in the subcutaneous tissue at the cesarean scar, with a pain intensifying during menstruation, the physician should consider cesarean scar endometriosis in women of reproductive age with a history of cesarean section.

An Unusually Large Fibroepithelial Polyp of Uterine Cervix: Case Report and Review of Literature.

BACKGROUND: Fibroepithelial cervical polyps (FEPs) are benign growths protruding from the inner surface of the cervix. They are typically asymptomatic, but a very small minority can undergo malignant change. Giant cervical polyps with a size greater than 4 cm are rare entities with only 23 reported cases in the literature. Cervical polyps develop as a result of focal hyperplasia of the columnar epithelium of the endocervix. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a giant fibroepithelial polyp measuring approximately 11 x 6 x 4 cm which was protruding from the anterior lip of the uterine cervix in a 51-year-old woman who clinically presented vaginal bleeding. She was nulligravida and doesn't have a child. The speculum examination revealed a soft, mobile, painless irregular cerebriform mass on the cervix, protruding through the vagina. The polyp was excised using a scalpel, and the pedicle was sutured using the Vicryl 1-0 under short-term intravenous anaesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed a polypoidal tumour mass composed of cellular fibrovascular stroma covered with stratified squamous epithelium. Three months after the initial surgery, there was no recurrence seen. CONCLUSION: Cervical giant polyps are rare entities and occur mostly in perimenopausal women. Transvaginal polypectomy, as performed for this patient followed by histopathological examination is an adequate procedure for these lesions.
