Abstract

Endometriosis is a prevalent benign condition arising from the female reproductive system and affects about 7%–10% of females. The association of endometriosis with serous borderline ovarian tumors has been a matter of interest in gynecology. Sampson first described the association between endometriosis and carcinoma. The endometriosis-associated ovarian malignancies are clear cell adenocarcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma, whereas serous and mucinous are rare malignancies associated with endometriosis. Here, we present the case report of a 45-year-old female in which endometriosis was associated with borderline serous tumor, since there is a lack of enough confident criteria for diagnosing endometriosis-associated ovarian tumors.
