This chapter reviews a range of nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions showing müllerian differentiation on histology but arising predominantly outside müllerian-duct–derived structures, typically in the pelvis and lower abdomen involving peritoneum, subjacent tissues (including retroperitoneum), and lymph nodes. It focuses on why these lesions matter to pathologists, particularly their microscopic differentiation from metastatic tumors. The key limitation is that the provided text is only an abstract-level description of the chapter’s scope and does not present primary study data or specific incidence, methods, or results beyond emphasizing diagnostic differential considerations. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it discusses pelvic mullerian-differentiated lesions (including endometriosis-related pathology) and their histologic differentiation in pelvic and lymph-node distributions.

Abstract

This chapter deals primarily with a variety of nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions that are characterized by müllerian differentiation on histologic examination but a distribution that is predominantly external to structures derived from the miillerian ducts. These lesions typically occur in the pelvis and lower abdomen, involving the peritoneum, the subjacent tissues (including retroperitoneum), and lymph nodes. Their importance to the pathologist, therefore, includes their differentiation on microscopic examination from metastatic tumor.
