Clear cell carcinoma of ovary is uncommon ovarian tumour that arises from surface epithelium of ovary. It has well-known association with ovarian endometriosis. We report here the first case of bilateral clear cell carcinoma of ovaries in a 40-year-old woman with a 17-year history of bilateral ovarian endometriosis. In addition, during the longstanding duration of the endometriosis, the patient was treated with hormonal therapy, including oestrogen. It represents the first report of such bilateral involvement in the background of ovarian endometriosis. This should prompt clinicians to be aware that prolonged hormonal treatment of endometriosis may precipitate bilateral malignancy of the ovary.
卵巢透明细胞癌是一种罕见的卵巢肿瘤,起源于卵巢表面上皮。它与卵巢子宫内膜异位症有着众所周知的关联。我们在此报告首例40岁双侧卵巢透明细胞癌病例,该患者有17年双侧卵巢子宫内膜异位症病史。此外,在子宫内膜异位症的长期病程中,患者接受了包括雌激素在内的激素治疗。这是卵巢子宫内膜异位症背景下双侧受累的首例报告。这应促使临床医生意识到,子宫内膜异位症的长期激素治疗可能会引发双侧卵巢恶性肿瘤。
