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.
本病例研究展示了一名93岁男性解剖学捐赠者的常规解剖结果。对腹部进行详细检查发现，从乙状结肠到左下腹前壁腹膜有类似纤维化的组织，位于左弓状线下方4厘米处。该异常组织总长12厘米。其他明显的病理特征包括乙状结肠憩室病和左侧腹股沟疝。大体解剖和组织病理学结果表明，该组织是一种血管畸形（VM）。必须与医学界分享我们的全面发现，以便外科医生和病理学家之间的合作能够为有类似解剖学发现的患者提供最佳治疗。
