  • Title: [Postmenopausal malignant transformation of extragenital endometriosis. A case report].
    Author: Fat BC, Terzibachian JJ, Govyadovskiy A, Grisey A.
    Journal: Gynecol Obstet Fertil; 2008 Jan; 36(1):51-5. PubMed ID: 18178119.
    Abstract:
    Malignant transformation of endometriosis is a rare event. The ovaries are the most common sites reported in the literature. Postmenopausal cancer arising in extragenital endometriosis is still more exceptional. Hormone replacement therapy and perhaps, to a lesser extent, Tamoxifen could be risk factors for the malignant transformation of endometriosis. We herein report the case of a patient who has developed, after 11 years of hormone replacement therapy, an extragenital endometrioid carcinoma in the vesico-uterine pouch.
