Bilateral endometrioid carcinoma of ovary: A case report

Abstract

Background: A 54 year female presented with distension of abdomen, and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed Bilateral Ovarian carcinoma. Patient was operated and specimen received to the department of Pathology. The resected specimen showed two large ovarian masses, on cut open solid and cystic areas seen. Histologically tubular pattern of tumor tissue seen with no endometriotic (endometriosis) foci. Objectives: Endometrioid carcinoma accounts for 10% of all ovarian carcinomas. Bilaterality noted in 28% of cases. Cancers adjacent to endometriosis on the same ovary or arising within endometriosis were labeled endometriosis associated endometrioid carcinoma, while all others were considered typical endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: We report a case of bilateral typical endometrioid adenocarcinoma
