Abstract

Endometrial serous carcinoma (ESC) is a high-grade and aggressive form of endometrial cancer. Its development in association with adenomyosis, a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the myometrium, is rare and poorly understood. This case report discusses a postmenopausal woman diagnosed with uterine serous carcinoma arising from adenomyosis, highlighting diagnostic challenges, clinical management, and prognosis. A comprehensive review of the literature is included to offer a broader perspective on this unusual association.
