Abstract

From 1975 to 1977, out of 3065 women with major vaginal and abdominal operations, 343 were found to have endometriosis (11.1%). Of the latter, 36 (10.4%) had also genital cancer, i.e. cervical (22 women), endometrial (6 women), and ovarian (8 women). In none of these cases was a malignant alteration of endometriosis observed.
