Abstract

In Brief BACKGROUND Adenosarcoma in a patient with extraovarian endometriosis is a rare event and can be easily overlooked. CASE A woman with a history of endometriosis underwent multiple resections of a vaginal mass and medical treatment for presumed recurrent endometriosis. Eventually, a vaginal adenosarcoma was diagnosed. CONCLUSION The possibility of adenosarcoma should be considered if an enlarging mass occurs at the site of extraovarian endometriosis. A malignant tumor should be in the differential diagnosis for a rapidly enlarging mass in the setting of vaginal endometriosis.
