This is a brief case report/letter describing the imaging “gorgon sign” in abdominal wall endometriosis, focusing on how the sign appears on abdominal imaging and how it supported the diagnosis in that reported scenario. The paper does not include any original human or animal study data, and it provides no explicit patient-level methods beyond describing the imaging finding as presented in the article. Because it is limited in scope to a small number of observations, there is no opportunity to assess sensitivity or specificity of the sign. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reports the “gorgon sign” as an imaging feature of abdominal wall endometriosis.
