Background: Anterior abdominal wall fibroid are uncommon and could be a cause of pain and discomfort. Very few cases have been reported in the literature but none in our region.
Case Presentation: We present an uncommon case of a 31 year old para 2+2 trader from the Itsekiri tribe of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria who presented with a one year history of a periumbilcal mass, had surgical removal of the mass and histology revealed leiomyoma.
Conclusion: Abdominal wall fibroid is a good differential diagnosis to be considered in any woman of reproductive age with an anterior abdominal mass and previous uterine surgery, including laparoscopic surgeries.

Introduction: The Retzius-sparing technique for prostate cancer has shown favorable continence recovery outcomes. Magnetic resonance imaging after Retzius-sparing showed that the bladder anterior wall is widely connected to the abdominal wall, which contributes to urinary continence. We aimed to evaluate whether the Peritoneal Fixation technique, which involves suturing the anterior bladder wall onto the abdominal wall above the pubic bone, contributes to the recovery of urinary continence.

Chest and abdomen radiographs are the most common radiograph examinations conducted in the Dubai Health sector, with both involving exposure to several radiosensitive organs. Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are accepted as an effective safety, optimization, and auditing tool in clinical practice. The present work aims to establish a comprehensive projection and weight-based structured DRL system that allows one to confidently highlight healthcare centers in need of urgent action.
