This case report describes a rare mixed heterologous tumor of müllerian type that developed in the cecal peritoneum of an elderly woman. Microscopic examination revealed evidence of mesothelial origin in the adjacent tissue, while the surgical specimen and autopsy results showed no signs of endometriosis or other genital involvement. The authors note that such tumors had previously been documented only within the genital system, marking this as a unique extragenital occurrence. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.

Abstract

A mixed heterologous tumor of müllerian type arising in the cecal serosa of an elderly woman is reported. There was no history of endometriosis, and no evidence of the latter was found in the surgical specimen or at autopsy. Evidence of mesothelial origin was found microscopically in the adjacent cecal peritoneum. A review of medical literature on mixed heterologous tumors of müllerian type reveals that heretofore they have originated only in the genital system.
