This clinical vignette describes the diagnosis and treatment of an extremely rare complication involving a utero-subcutaneous fistula and abdominal wall endometriosis in a patient who underwent myomectomy. The case highlights the complex interplay between surgical intervention for fibroids and the subsequent development of abnormal tissue connections and ectopic endometrial implants. By presenting this specific instance, the authors illustrate the diagnostic challenges and management strategies required for such unusual post-surgical outcomes. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
