So our very last case very, very quickly.
0:03
So this is a 30-year-old female. History, I'm going to withhold.
0:07
So if we look, I'm going to just jump to the finding.
0:11
We look at the axial T2.
0:15
We see a little noduler area that is T2 hypointense.
0:21
If we look at that same finding on the T1,
0:28
and I apologize, this was an abdomen and a pelvis.
0:35
And so our usual sequences are...
0:43
We didn't follow our typical protocol here.
0:46
So that finding is very avidly enhancing on the post cons.
0:58
And I know that there is a T1 pre here somewhere.
1:01
I just need to find it. Here we go.
1:03
So if we look at the T1 pre of the pelvis,
1:07
it's intrinsically T1 bright.
1:10
So, can we get the last question, please?
1:13
So which of the following is not typically
1:15
present in women with abdominal wall endometriosis?
1:17
Is it a history of endometriosis itself, a history of prior pelvic surgery,
1:21
of cyclical abdominal pain, or of a palpable mass?
1:24
All right, so we have a couple of answers
1:28
for history of palpable mass and then one answer for history of endometriosis.
1:32
And the correct answer is actually history of endometriosis.
1:35
So it is common for women to have
1:39
a history of pelvic surgery, cesarean section being the most common.
1:43
And then the endometriosis implant itself causes a palpable mass that becomes
1:49
cyclically larger and painful, which was the history this patient had.
1:53
It is not necessary for women to have a history of endometriosis to develop
1:59
abdominal wall endometriosis in the postoperative setting.
2:02
And so, don't think that it can't be endometriosis just because the patient
2:06
doesn't have endometriosis elsewhere in her pelvis.
