Abstract

Polypoid endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis, distinct from classical or usual endometriosis. Unlike usual endometriosis which usually presents in young women, polypoid endometriosis occurs more commonly in postmenopausal women. It mimics malignancy and simulates ovarian cancer, not only on preoperative investigations but also intraoperatively, causing a diagnostic dilemma.
