Objective:
To report the usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography for the assessment of parietal endometriosis.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
Academic research hospital.
Patient(S):
A 35-year-old woman with a noncyclic, painful abdominal nodule near a caesarean delivery scar.
Intervention(S):
3D ultrasonography and wide surgical resection with healthy margins.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
3D ultrasonographic assessment of the endometriotic nodule.
Result(S):
We found that 3D ultrasonography offered a more specific description of parietal endometriosis with irregular and spiculated margins and depth infiltration as well as provided preoperative evaluation of volume measurements.
Conclusion(S):
Three-dimensional ultrasonography is a useful, noninvasive tool in extrapelvic endometriosis.
