    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Context:

    • Allen-Masters syndrome is a rare condition involving pelvic peritoneal defects.
    • Diagnosis historically relied on surgical exploration.
    • The syndrome's etiology remains incompletely understood.

    Purpose:

    • To present a case series of Allen-Masters syndrome.
    • To analyze diagnostic methods and locations of peritoneal defects.
    • To review treatment approaches.

    Summary:

    • The study analyzed 18 cases of Allen-Masters syndrome diagnosed between 1978 and 1985.
    • Pelvic peritoneal defects were identified via laparoscopy (15 cases) or laparotomy (3 cases).
    • Defects were primarily located in the broad ligaments (13 cases) or Douglas pouch (5 cases), with 3 cases lacking clear etiological trauma.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the diagnostic challenges and varied presentations of Allen-Masters syndrome.
    • Emphasizes the role of laparoscopy in diagnosing pelvic peritoneal defects.
    • Informs surgical management strategies for ligament-peritoneal scarred lacerations.
