Rare abdominal wall clear cell carcinoma in endometriosis: case report and literature review of diagnostic and therapeutic considerations.
Review in World journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEndometriosis of the abdominal wall is exceptionally rare, with malignant transformation to clear cell carcinoma being of even greater rarity. In this paper, the importance of accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment is emphasized, including the possibility of mesh reconstruction of the abdominal wall. CASE PRESENTATION: A 53-year-old woman presented with a rapidly enlarging abdominal wall tumor, 19 years after undergoing a caesarean section. Prior to her referral to our facility, a peripheral hospital had already performed tumor resection with mesh-based abdominal wall reconstruction. Tumor histology had revealed endosalpingiosis without evidence of malignancy. However, a year later, the patient exhibited a relapse accompanied by renewed rapid growth. Both punch and open biopsies revealed endosalpingiosis. Due to its rapid growth, a total resection of the tumor was performed. This necessitated the removal of a significant portion of the abdominal wall musculature and fascia. The abdominal wall was then reconstructed using a two-layer mesh. Final histological examination revealed a clear cell carcinoma that had arisen from endometriosis. Following the complete healing, the patient received adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation to the inguinal area.
conclusionClear cell carcinoma of the abdominal wall arising from endometriosis is a rare and highly aggressive form of malignant transformation with a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. In rapidly growing abdominal wall tumors following gynaecological surgery, the objective should be radical resection. In addition to this, the selection of appropriate reconstruction procedures is crucial to achieving optimal oncological and functional results. Examples of such reconstruction procedures include a two-layer mesh reconstruction. This case aims to raise awareness of this rare and highly aggressive malignancy and to discuss diagnostic challenges and therapeutic strategies, including complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
