Abstract

This case study presents the routine prosection findings of a 93-year-old male anatomical donor. A detailed examination of the abdomen revealed a fibrotic-like tissue stemming from the sigmoid colon to the peritoneum of the lower left anterior abdominal wall, 4 cm inferior to the left arcuate line. In total, the anomalous tissue measured 12 cm in length. Other noticeable pathological features included diverticulosis of the sigmoid colon and a left inguinal hernia. Gross anatomical and histopathological findings suggest that the tissue is a vascular malformation (VM). It is imperative to share our comprehensive findings with the medical community so that collaborations between surgeons and pathologists can provide optimal care for patients with similar anatomical findings.
