Lott\n- Robert J. Rubin\n- Eugene P. Salvati\n- Gerardo H. Salazar\nSummary\nThe case of a patient with an endometrioid carcinoma arising in endometriosis of the rectum is presented. This lesion grossly appeared to be a carcinoma arising from the rectal mucosa until microscopic examination of the specimen was completed. The endometrial implant continued to grow and eventually degenerated into a carcinoma in spite of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. This was believed to be due to maintenance of the patient on diethyl-stilbestrol. This case is believed to be the ninth reported case of carcinoma arising in an endometrial implant in the colon or rectum.\nCopyright © The ASCRS 1978","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
