Endometriosis is presence of functional endometrium outside of uterine cavum. As a pluripotent tissue, endometrium has the possibility of implanting itself almost everywhere; even implantation in abdominal wall was described, but it is not common site. This case report presents implantation of functional endometrium in abdominal wall, inside scar tissue, and after insertion of a laparoscopic trocar port. Final diagnosis was confirmed by pathohistological examination.

Abstract Endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the lining of the uterine cavity. It occurs most commonly in pelvic sites such as ovaries, cul-de-sac, and fallopian tubes but also can be found associated with the lungs, bowel, ureter, brain, and abdominal wall. Abdominal wall endometriosis, also known as scar endometriosis, is extremely rare and mainly occurs at surgical scar sites. Although many cases of scar endometriosis have been reported after a cesarean section, some cases of scar endometriosis have been reported after an episiotomy, hysterectomy, appendectomy, and laparoscopic trocar port tracts. To our knowledge, 14 case reports related to trocar site endometriosis have been published in the English language literature to date. Herein, we present the case of a 20-year-old woman (who had been previously operated on for left ovarian endometrioma 1.5 years ago by laparoscopy) with the complaint of a painful mass at the periumbilical trocar site with cyclic pattern. Consequently, although rare, if a painful mass in the surgical scar, such as the trocar site, is found in women of reproductive age with a history of pelvic or obstetric surgery, the physician should consider endometriosis.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Malakoplakia is a granulomatous disease of infectious etiology that affects immunosuppressed individuals. It commonly involves the genitourinary tract, but the involvement of other systems and organs has been reported. Gram-negative bacterial infections are mostly the responsible agent, with Escherichia coli found in approximately 80% of cases. Malakoplakia can present clinically and radiologically as a malignancy. Methods/Case Report We present a case of a 16-year-old male with a history of acute liver failure requiring liver transplantation due to autoimmune hepatitis. He was admitted with concerns for rejection, and he was found to have an abdominal wall mass. MRI studies showed a lobulated, solid, and cystic mass measuring 11.0 x 4.9 x 1.9 cm in the right abdominal wall. The mass was extending through all the layers of the abdominal wall and protruding into the abdominal cavity with mass effect on the liver, encasing the common bile duct, hepatic artery and main portal vein, concerning for malignancy, versus a possible infectious process. Ultrasound-guided FNA and biopsy were performed. The Diff-Quik and Papanicolaou-stained smears showed abundant foamy macrophages with numerous granular intra- and extracellular slightly refractile inclusions (4-10 um), rare multinucleated giant cells, and fibroblasts. A Von Kossa stain highlighted the targetoid inclusions consistent with Michaelis-Gutman bodies. Additional stains were performed on the core needle biopsy, and the histiocytes were positive for CD68 and CD163. Stains for keratins, CD45, HSA, CD1A, and Langerin were negative. No acid-fast or fungal microorganisms were identified on AFB and GMS stains, respectively. The final diagnosis was malakoplakia, with no evidence of malignancy. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion Fine-needle aspiration cytology is useful in establishing a fast diagnosis of malakoplakia and excluding malignancies.

Abstract Background Shoulder pain (SP) may originate from both musculoskeletal and visceral conditions. Physiotherapists (PT) may encounter patients with life-threatening pathologies that mimic musculoskeletal pain such as Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). A trained PT should be able to distinguish between signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal or visceral origin aimed at performing proper medical referral. Case presentation A 46-y-old male with acute SP lasting from a week was diagnosed with right painful musculoskeletal shoulder syndrome, in two successive examinations by the emergency department physicians. However, after having experienced a shift of the pain on the left side, the patient presented to a PT. The PT recognized the signs and symptoms of visceral pain and referred him to the general practitioner, which identified a cardiac disease. The final diagnosis was acute myocardial infarction. Conclusion This case report highlights the importance of a thorough patient screening examination, especially for patients treated in an outpatient setting, which allow distinguishing between signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal from visceral diseases.

Common Site

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.
