This paper is a rare case report describing a primary endometrioid carcinoma arising in the broad ligament, presenting with the clinical and diagnostic workup typical of gynecologic malignancies and documenting the tumor’s identification and management course at the reporting institution. The authors provide details consistent with other broad-ligament tumor case literature, emphasizing how such a malignancy can be difficult to distinguish from other pelvic tumors. A key limitation is that, as a single-case report, it does not establish generalizable incidence, risk factors, or treatment effectiveness beyond the specific patient described. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports primary endometrioid carcinoma, an endometrioid histologic type associated in the broader literature with endometriosis.
