Incarcerated prolapsed ureterocele masquerading as a vulvar mass after midurethral sling surgery: a case report with systematic review
To report a case of incarcerated prolapsed ureterocele (IPU) after midurethral sling (MUS) surgery and to conduct a systematic review of previously reported cases.
Key Findings:
The patient presented with a vulvar mass after MUS surgery, complicating diagnosis due to altered pelvic anatomy.
Multimodal ultrasonography revealed a characteristic dumbbell sign, indicating the relationship between the ureterocele and the sling.
Prolapsed ureterocele is a rare differential diagnosis for vulvar or interlabial masses, especially with urinary symptoms.
Interpretation:
Imaging, particularly multimodal ultrasonography, is crucial for diagnosing IPU after MUS surgery.
Limitations:
The rarity of the condition limits the number of reported cases and generalizability of findings.
Incomplete preoperative records hindered understanding of the ureterocele's status prior to MUS surgery.
Conclusion:
IPU following MUS surgery is a rare condition that should be considered in differential diagnoses of postoperative vulvar masses.
