A Case of Simultaneous Presentation of Endometrial Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma arising in Endometriosis at Uterosacral Ligament

This paper is a case report describing a patient with simultaneous diagnoses of endometrial carcinoma and adenocarcinoma arising in endometriosis located at the uterosacral ligament, along with a literature review on malignancies arising in endometriosis. The authors note that the incidence of cancer developing in endometriosis is difficult to quantify because of underreporting and inconsistent use of strict diagnostic criteria, estimating approximately 1–2% among patients with endometriosis. As a case report, the main limitation is that it cannot establish incidence or causal risk and relies on previously reported literature for broader context. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports adenocarcinoma arising in endometriosis in conjunction with concurrent endometrial carcinoma at the uterosacral ligament.
