Ovarian endometriosis sometimes develops into ovarian cancer, especially clear cell adenocarcinoma and endometrioid adenocarcinoma. However, endometriosis rarely develops into squamous cell carcinoma. We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from endometriosis. A 47-year-old Japanese woman was given a diagnosis of ovarian squamous cell carcinoma arising from endometriosis. She was treated with combination chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and carboplatin once every three weeks. Four months after the initial chemotherapy, multiple liver tumors appeared, and her treatment was changed to palliative therapy. Based on this case, in which ovarian squamous cell carcinoma arose from endometriosis, endometriosis should be followed-up strictly.
卵巢子宫内膜异位症有时会发展为卵巢癌，尤其是透明细胞腺癌和子宫内膜样腺癌。然而，子宫内膜异位症很少发展为鳞状细胞癌。我们报告一例由子宫内膜异位症引发的鳞状细胞癌病例。一名47岁的日本女性被诊断为源自子宫内膜异位症的卵巢鳞状细胞癌。她接受了每三周一次的紫杉醇和卡铂联合化疗。初始化疗四个月后，出现了多个肝肿瘤，其治疗改为姑息治疗。基于这例源自子宫内膜异位症的卵巢鳞状细胞癌病例，应对子宫内膜异位症进行严格随访。
