Endometriosis is a well-known precursor lesion of ovarian malignancies, particularly those of endometrioid and clear-cell types and rarely of serous or mucinous types. The association of endometriosis with mucinous borderline tumors also varies. This case is of a 60 year old female, who had a long history of more than thirty years of endometriosis and developed recurrent endocervical-like mucinous borderline tumor (ELMBT) in endometriotic foci. This case highlights challenges in the management of such complications associated with endometriosis and emphasizes the importance of long-term follow-up in cases of endometriosis.
子宫内膜异位症是卵巢恶性肿瘤的一种众所周知的前驱病变，尤其是子宫内膜样癌和透明细胞癌类型，而浆液性或黏液性类型则很少见。子宫内膜异位症与黏液性交界性肿瘤的关联也各不相同。该病例为一名60岁女性，有超过30年的子宫内膜异位症病史，并在子宫内膜异位病灶中发生了复发性宫颈内膜样黏液性交界性肿瘤（ELMBT）。该病例突出了此类与子宫内膜异位症相关并发症管理中的挑战，并强调了子宫内膜异位症病例长期随访的重要性。
