This report describes a postmenopausal case in which serous adenocarcinoma developed from an ovarian endometriosis lesion. The authors outline the clinical course and diagnostic/pathologic findings supporting malignant transformation arising in endometriosis. A key limitation is that, as a single case report, it cannot establish incidence or generalizability beyond the individual presented. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents serous adenocarcinoma arising from ovarian endometriosis after menopause.

Abstract

Endometriosis is estrogen dependent disease in reproductive age. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecologic disease. Problems associated with endometriosis include dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Postmenopausal endometriosis is rare. Also, malignant transformation in endometriosis is rare. There is no report in Korea about serous adenocarcinoma arising from endometriosis after menopause. The authors present a case of serous adenocarcinoma arising from endometriosis after menopause with brief review of the literature.
