Microvascular free muscle transfer utilizing the rectus abdominis muscle, in combination with a mesh skin graft and transarticular external fixator, were used following the surgical excision of an elbow hygroma in a Newfoundland dog. Postoperatively, the dog did well with minimal complications and has yet to have a recurrence 10 months following surgery. This report describes the utility and successful use of the rectus abdominis free tissue transfer in the surgical correction of a difficult elbow hygroma in the dog.

Introduction: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of the reproductive age woman. Although the most common affected sites are ovaries, sacrouterine ligament, rectovaginal septum, and pelvic peritoneum, it can be located in any organ. Endometriosis of rectus abdominal muscle independent from the cesarean section incision is extremely rare. Case Presentation: A 31-years-old female was admitted to the emergency department with periodical abdominal pain and distension complaints. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a heterogeneous mass in the rectus abdominis muscle. Surgical excision was performed. Histopathologic examination showed endometrial tissue with glandular and stromal elements within the muscularis propria. Conclusion: Endometriosis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of atypical pain and mass of the abdominal wall in the emergency settings.
