Knapp am Albtraum vorbei: Vertrauen ist gut – Kontrolle ist besser
A 40-year-old woman with a known history of endometriosis was referred for evaluation of a suspected left adrenal cystic lesion following recurrent abdominal colics. Initial imaging and negative endocrinological tests led to a plan for laparoscopic adrenalectomy, but a second radiologist’s review suggested the mass was actually a gastric diverticulum. Subsequent contrast-enhanced CT confirmed the gastrointestinal origin of the finding, prompting the cancellation of the surgery. This case highlights the critical importance of multidisciplinary image verification to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures in patients with complex medical histories. Relevance to endometriosis: The patient has a known history of endometriosis, which initially influenced the clinical suspicion, but the paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
