AI-generated summary
This case report describes the first association of primary cutaneous endometriosis of the thoracic skin with an ovarian granulosa cell tumor, suggesting that estrogen-secreting neoplasms may be linked to such rare endometriotic foci.

Abstract
A case of non-cicatricial endometriosis of the thoracic skin is described in a patient affected by an ovarian granulosa cell tumor, adult type. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of this type of association reported in the literature although some cases in which endometriosis was related to high estrogen levels are well documented. We suggest that in presence of an estrogen secreting neoplasm, foci of endometriosis might not be such a rare condition if clinicians and pathologists carefully looked for it.
