Endosalpingiosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of tubal-type epithelial cells outside the Fallopian tube. It may rarely involve the uterus and present as a cystic or tumor-like mass. We report an unusual case of cystic uterine endosalpingiosis in a postmenopausal female with carcinoma endometrium. Preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis of this condition is challenging. Awareness about this condition in clinicians may help in preventing misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
输卵管内膜异位症是一种良性疾病,其特征是在输卵管外存在输卵管型上皮细胞。它很少累及子宫,并表现为囊性或肿瘤样肿块。我们报告一例绝经后子宫内膜癌女性患者发生囊性子宫输卵管内膜异位症的罕见病例。术前和术中诊断这种疾病具有挑战性。临床医生对这种疾病的认识可能有助于防止误诊和过度治疗。
