AI Article Synopsis
- Abdominal wall endometriosis can sometimes turn into a type of cancer called clear cell carcinoma, but this is pretty rare.
- We don't know much about how this happens or how to treat it, so doctors are still figuring it out.
- In one case, a patient had clear cell cancer from a scar after surgery, and the doctors removed it and gave her a special medicine called Trastuzumab to help with recovery.
Article Abstract
Abdominal wall endometriosis with subsequent transformation to clear cell carcinoma is quite rare. The pathogenesis and pattern of this transformation is not well known; hence evaluation and management guidelines are not well established. We highlight a case of clear cell adenocarcinoma arising from the anterior abdominal wall in a previous cesarean section scar treated with excision and the unique addition of Trastuzumab for adjuvant chemotherapy.
