Core Tip
Core Tip: Endometriosis associated malignant transformation is rare and difficult to diagnose in clinical settings. In this study, we report of a rare case of a female patient with a 5 cm irregular mass in the left iliac fossa and without any endometriotic lesions in the pelvic cavity. Histopathological examination revealed main undifferentiated adenocarcinoma with a few typical endometrial epithelial and stromal tissues in the adjacent area. The patient underwent hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral ovariectomy followed by subsequent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She recovered well post-operation with no evidence of recurrence after 10 mo. A review of the literature concerning endometriosis associated malignant transformation is also presented.
