Abstrakt: Endometriosis is a condition that affects 5-10% women of reproductive age and is characterized by abnormal growth of endometrial cells outside the uterus. Most commonly it involves the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining the pelvis and rarely, endometrial tissue may spread beyond pelvic organs. We report a case of a 43-year-old female patient admitted to hospital for a routine gynecological clinical examination. Regarding her personal and family medical history no important pathology was associated. Clinical examination revealed a normal uterus with a 10 cm tumoral mass on the right side. The transvaginal sonography showed a mass with a negative ecogenity, well delimited, with 92 mm in diameter. A diagnosis of right ovarian tumor was established. Using exploratory laparoscopy, the adnexal tumoral mass was confirmed and because the tumor didn't have definite signs of benignity, the intervention was converted into laparotomy. Due to massive hemorrhage the patient underwent abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy. The postoperative evolution was favorable, and the histological examination confirmed the ovarian endometriosis and adenomyosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
