Abstract We present a case report of an unexpected pathology in addition to a rare complication in a 62-year-old female following an anterior exenteration and an abdominal wall reconstruction. Initial biopsies characterised the malignancy as a potential urachal adenocarcinoma, but the final pathology revealed a solitary endometrial adenocarcinoma metastasis from endometrial cancer 6 years previously. Due to the nature of the tumour, an abdominal wall resection was required, and reconstruction involved a pedicled thigh flap. Post-operatively the small bowel herniated under the flap and this resulted in true mechanical small bowel obstruction. The loop of herniated bowel is visible on CT imaging in the area of the proximal thigh. The patient returned to theatre for an emergency laparotomy and the abdominal wall defect was closed instead with a surgical implant derived from animal tissue. The patient made an excellent recovery, was discharged home, and continues to do well. This patient is an example of excelling in adversity.
