Article Synopsis
- Spigelian hernia is a rare type of abdominal wall hernia that often goes unnoticed until it becomes incarcerated, usually forming where the arcuate line meets the lateral part of the rectus abdominis muscle.
- A case involved a 44-year-old woman with a painful lump in her abdomen, which was suspected to be an incarcerated atypical hernia; imaging confirmed the presence of a Spigelian hernia, despite initial thoughts of a different condition due to her use of interferon.
- Diagnosing Spigelian hernias is challenging because symptoms can be nonspecific, and the high risk of incarceration suggests that even less obvious cases should be surgically treated.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), responsible for extracellular matrix remodelling and processing of numerous soluble and cell-surface proteins, appear to play important roles in pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases. MMPs influence migration of inflammatory cells, mucosal destruction, matrix deposition and degradation. In this study, we analysed the expression of MMP-19 in the main forms of gastrointestinal diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and colorectal carcinoma.
