This case report describes a 52-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with a progressively infiltrating tumor affecting both the liver and extrahepatic tissues. Radiological imaging initially suggested a malignancy, but subsequent histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of locally infiltrating endometriosis. The authors highlight that this presentation is atypical because endometriosis rarely occurs in postmenopausal women and typically involves pelvic structures rather than hepatic sites. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, an extremely rare case of hepatic infiltration demonstrating atypical clinical and radiological features in a postmenopausal patient.

Abstract

Die Endometriose stellt eine extrauterine, vorwiegend intrapelvine Absiedelung funktionellen Endometriums dar und betrifft überwiegend prämenopausale Frauen. Klinische Symptome sind in Abhängigkeit der Lokalisation unspezifisch und korrelieren nicht zwangsläufig mit dem Menstruationszyklus. Asymptomatische Verläufe sind möglich, weshalb die Diagnose im Falle von bildmorphologischen Zufallsbefunden eine Herausforderung darstellt (Woodward PJ et al. RadioGraphics 2001; 21: 193 – 216). Wir berichten über den Fall einer 52-jährigen postmenopausalen Patientin mit dem radiologischen Befund eines progredienten, hepatisch und extrahepatisch infiltrierenden Tumors, welcher histologisch als lokal infiltrierende Endometriose identifiziert wurde.
