Abstract:
Scar formation is a foreseeable outcome in wound healing. Patients frequently undergo scar revision to improve aesthetic appearance or function. Herein, we present the case of a 49-year-old woman who presented with a painful scar on the abdominal wall. High-resolution computed tomography failed to reveal any underlying source of the abdominal pain. During scar revision, she was found to have extensive fibrosis resulting from a foreign-body response to spinal debris.
