| Popis: | Malignant transformation is a rare sequelae of endometriosis. We report a case of Mrs. GR who was a 57-year-old, nulliparous woman.She presented with passing fecal matter vaginally and a left pelvic mass increasing in size and discomfort. She had a history of subtotalhysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy for endometriosis and was incidentally found to have a benign Sertoli-Leydig cell tumorin a single ovary. She subsequently had a CT scan confirming the presence of a mass greater than 9 cm in size. The biopsy suggestedendometrioid adenocarcinoma. Our case shows possibility of malignant transformation of endometriosis after hysterectomy and bilateralsalpingo-oophrectomy in a patient with a prior history of endometriosis. |
