<p>We aimed to present a case with abdominal wall endometriosis following cesarean section in this case report. <br />A 32 year old 39 weeks pregnant woman with G2P1 was admitted to gynaecology clinic with abdominal lump and pain in the midline. Her physical examination included a hard and painful palpable subcutaneous mass of 4x5 cm size in the midline of the abdomen which was semisolid and irreducible. <br />Under general anesthesia, the mass on the rectus muscle was excised with the healthy tissue around with the diagnosis of endometriosis during cesarean section and the pathological diagnosis was reported as endometriosis.<br />Surgical excision is the best treatment method in abdominal wall endometriosis. <br /><br /></p>

A 56-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for urachal carcinoma with peritoneal dissemination. He received first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin. After the fifth cycle, a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed abdominal fluid, and his serum tumor marker levels were increased. The patient was started on second-line therapy with FOLFIRI. After 11 cycles, his tumor decreased in size and no new metastatic lesions were detected. The patient underwent complete tumor resection with partial cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. The tumor was removed, along with adhering surrounding organs, including the omentum, peritoneum, abdominal rectus muscle, and vermiform appendix. Although pathological examination confirmed peritoneal dissemination, his tumor markers normalized soon after surgery. The patient has survived 62 months after surgery without any adjuvant therapy and with no evidence of recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the longest duration of survival without recurrence of a patient with urachal carcinoma with peritoneal dissemination who received multimodal therapy.

Abstract Background Autologous fascial slings (AFS) have been used for a very long time in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence, but the introduction of synthetic mesh slings placed either retropubicallyor trans-obturator has decreased the need to harvest the autologous rectus muscle fascia, thus reducing invasiveness and operative time. However AFS are still indicated in complicated cases and re-interventions, and the FDA has underlined safety concerns over the use of surgical meshes for the transvaginal repair of prolapsed pelvic organs. Case presentation A 76-year-old woman with muscle-invasivebladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy 16 years after retropubic positioning of an autologous rectus muscle fascial sling for SUI, with complete symptom resolution. The sling was easily identified and removed en bloc with the bladder and urethra, providing an opportunity to histologicallyevaluate the autologous fascial graft after its long permanence in the new position. Histopathological examination demonstrated increased fibroblastic proliferation and formation of capillaries. A slight separation and an increased waviness of the connective fibers were both evident. An increased vascularity was also apparent, including transverse vessels, with clusters of vessels. A relative inflammatory reaction was present in over 300 cells/10 HPF. All these characteristics indicated viable connective tissue. Conclusions AFS remain a valuable surgical option for both primary and recurrent SUI in women, showing high cure rates and low complications in the long-term. The present case, to the best of our knowledge, presents the longest follow-up period of an autologous rectus muscle fascia placed retropubically and its histological evaluation documents characteristics which support its mechanical strength and viability.
