Abdominal masses in female adolescents are uncommon. A rare cause of this condition is hematocolpos due to imperforate hymen.<jats:italic>Case<\/jats:italic>. We present a case of an unusually massive asymptomatic abdominal bulk in a 14-year-old female patient, who sought for medical advice after unusual abdominal pain lasting for few weeks. The patient was otherwise asymptomatic, apart from an unusual dramatic expansion of her abdominal wall during the last month. We describe the surgical management and the follow-up of the patient.<jats:italic>Summary and Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Clinicians should keep in mind that an imperforate hymen can cause abdominal growth due to hematocolpos and include it in the differential diagnosis of such a clinical entity in female adolescents. 2D ultrasound is usually efficient for the confirmation of the diagnosis of hematocolpos, but 3D ultrasound is more accurate. Wide excision should be undertaken, as an initial approach, to avoid recurrence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/429740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,8]],"date-time":"2015-02-08T21:01:08Z","timestamp":1423429268000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Abdominal Tumor in a 14-Year-Old Adolescent: Imperforate Hymen, Resulting in Hematocolpos\u2014A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"George Marios","family":"Makris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Medical School, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Langenbeck Stra\u00dfe 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"3rd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical School, University of Athens, \u201cAttikon\u201d Hospital, Rimini Street 1, Chaidari, 12462 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Doris","family":"Macchiella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Medical School, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Langenbeck Stra\u00dfe 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dennis","family":"Vaidakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3rd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical School, University of Athens, \u201cAttikon\u201d Hospital, Rimini Street 1, Chaidari, 12462 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charalampos","family":"Chrelias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3rd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical School, University of Athens, \u201cAttikon\u201d Hospital, Rimini Street 1, Chaidari, 12462 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco Johannes","family":"Battista","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Medical School, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Langenbeck Stra\u00dfe 1, 55131 Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charalampos","family":"Siristatidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3rd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medical School, University of Athens, \u201cAttikon\u201d Hospital, Rimini Street 1, Chaidari, 12462 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2005.06.008"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1469-0705.1998.12010067.x"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00467-006-0022-9"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1726-4901(09)70223-0"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2012.04.005"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejrad.2011.01.062"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5402\/2011\/520304"},{"key":"9","first-page":"1420","volume":"90","year":"1964","journal-title":"Canadian Medical Association journal"},{"issue":"4","key":"10","first-page":"242","volume":"56","year":"1974","journal-title":"California and Western Medicine"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2015\/429740.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2015\/429740.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2015\/429740.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,18]],"date-time":"2016-08-18T18:20:27Z","timestamp":1471544427000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/criog\/2015\/429740\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":9,"alternative-id":["429740","429740"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2015\/429740","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6684","2090-6692"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6684","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6692","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
