Figure 1 Images of the mass by contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography.
A: Computed tomography (CT) shows a low-density mass with rim enhancement adjacent to the rectus abdominis in the lower abdominal wall; B: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/CT shows high uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose by the mass, with a maximum standardized uptake value of 6.0. The white arrows indicate the mass.
Figure 2 Gross appearance of the mass in surgery.
A: The mass was grey white with an irregular shape; B: There were purulent exudates in the center of the mass; C and D: Pathological examination of the specimen revealed a large number of infiltrated neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages in the adipose and connective tissues, accompanied by focal abscess, inflammatory granulation tissue formation, and interstitial fibrosis.
