Abstract
We present a case of a liver endometrioma in a postmenopausal woman. After failed management with leuprolide acetate, the mass was resected and contained focal areas of mullerian adenosarcoma. This is a rare case of mullerian adenosarcoma that appeared to arise within an endometrioma of the liver.
