One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Peri/postmenopausal endometriosis is not as rare as once we thought. Accumulated data revealed that around 1/3-1/4 of women with surgically-diagnosed endometriosis after the age of 40. The uneasiness of the issue of malignant transformation or malignancy in such women created a challenge for us.
