A rare case of rectovaginal endometriosis with lymph node involvement is described in a 44-year-old patient. The presence of endometrial tissue in pelvic lymph nodes is rare and has been confirmed in the literature in subjects who underwent surgery for endometriosis. Involvement of pelvic lymph nodes by endometriosis seems unlikely to arise de novo and probably suggests lymphatic spread of the disease.
本文描述了一名44岁患者发生的罕见的伴有淋巴结受累的直肠阴道子宫内膜异位症病例。盆腔淋巴结中存在子宫内膜组织的情况较为罕见,在接受子宫内膜异位症手术的患者中已有文献证实。子宫内膜异位症累及盆腔淋巴结似乎不太可能是原发性的,可能提示疾病的淋巴转移。
