This paper reports a rare case of hepatic endometriosis/endometrioma in a 51-year-old multiparous woman who presented with 6 months of epigastric pain and vomiting after a prior conservative hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomas. Despite normal liver function tests and tumor markers and imaging (USS/CT/MRI) suggesting benign or malignant liver cystic tumors, frozen section at laparotomy suggested endometriosis, and final histology confirmed hepatic endometrioma without malignant transformation, with surgical resection including left lobectomy and diaphragm resection. The authors note that preoperative diagnosis is very difficult in the absence of clinical and radiological characteristics and that diagnosis relies on histological examination of the whole surgical sample. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it details a hepatic endometrioma case and reviews previously reported cases.
