Separate endometrioid adenocarcinoma involving only the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare. Its diagnosis requires confirmation through pathological examination and immunohistochemical analysis.
Decidualized ovarian endometriomas are benign lesions that can closely mimic ovarian malignancy on ultrasound. Correctly identifying them is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and associated adverse fetal-maternal outcomes. A systematic …

Decidual changes in deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) are extremely rare. During pregnancy, endometriotic activity and symptoms diminish due to hormonal changes, whereas the endometrial lining undergoes decidualization in response to …
To review the evidence concerning the clinical presentation of endometriosis in postmenopausal women and the associated risk of malignant transformation.
Endometriosis is a benign yet chronic gynecologic condition that, in rare cases, may undergo malignant transformation. Although endometriosis-associated malignancies most commonly arise in the ovary, extragonadal sites may also be …
Endometriosis rarely affects the abdominal wall and typically occurs following surgery, like uterine procedures or, more commonly, cesarean sections. There have been a few instances of endometriosis evolving into malignant …
Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …
