Parametrial phlebectasia: A clinical-pathologic entity

A 37-year-old woman presented with a painful mass lesion in her right inguinal region, 6 days after normal vaginal delivery. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a serpentine mass lesion containing blood elements along the inguinal course of the round ligament continuous to the labium majus. Although thrombosed varices of the round ligament is a rare condition, it should be distinguished from other inguinal masses to prevent unnecessary surgical treatments.

Postpartum thrombosis of varicose veins of the round ligament may present in a clinical picture similar to an irreducible inguinal hernia. Two such unusual cases are reported. One patient underwent surgery while the other, with a presumptive diagnosis of the same condition, was observed, with no complications occurring in both patients. This condition has not to my knowledge been previously reported. The increased incidence of both varicose veins and thrombosis in the postpartum period should alert the physician to the diagnosis of such conditions.
