This paper presents a case report and literature review about laparoscopic management of presumed benign adnexal masses, focusing on a 45-year-old woman with known endometriosis who developed a pelvic abscess after prior laparoscopic treatment of an endometrioma; laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy revealed endometrioid ovarian adenocarcinoma. The authors describe intraoperative findings of a ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess with endometriosis and note key considerations and limitations, including that preoperative malignancy assessment is imperfect and frozen section accuracy may be reduced in the setting of infection. They highlight that endometriomas in women over 40 and elevated Ca125 can be associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer, and discuss surgical and staging implications. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — a case of endometriosis-associated endometrioma complicated by pelvic abscess that was ultimately diagnosed as endometrioid ovarian carcinoma.
