Endometriosis-associated epithelial ovarian cancer is a more complicated disease than we suspected before
Objective: Endometriosis-associated epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) often includes clear cell carcinoma and endometrioid-type carcinoma. Due to the low incidence of primary mucinous EOC and absence of association between endometriosis and primary mucinous EOC, we present an unusual endometriosis-ass...

Grossly, right ovarian tumor containing brownish cloudy cystic fluid 2450 ml and an apparent 4 × 4 × 2 cm-sized papillary growth. Microscopically, a confluent glandular and infiltrative pattern presented endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and cells with intracytoplasmic mucin and stratified elongated epithelial cells presented mucinous adenocarcinoma.
