This paper is a case report describing a challenging diagnosis of in situ carcinoma arising from cystic foci of colonic endometriosis in a 32-year-old woman with six months of abdominal pain and no notable past medical history. Despite preoperative investigations concluding an ovarian cystic tumor and intraoperative impression that the mass involved the right colon, the right hemicolectomy specimen showed a submucosal 10-cm cyst with microscopic features consistent with in situ carcinoma developed on cystic endometriosis. The authors emphasize delayed diagnosis due to atypical symptoms and the malignant potential of endometriosis, while noting the management for this rare lesion is not standardized and requires multidisciplinary discussion. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports malignant transformation of colonic endometriosis cystic foci into in situ carcinoma.
