Extra-ovarian recurrence of mucinous cystadenomas (MCs) is a rare phenomenon. This case report presents the first documented instance of a benign MC recurring within the uterine myometrium of a 48-year-old woman. Two years following an oophorectomy for a large left ovarian MC, the patient presented with lower abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a pelvic mass and subsequent surgery identified a cystic lesion arising from the uterine fundus. Histopathological examination confirmed a benign MC. This case underscores the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis for pelvic cystic lesions, especially in patients with a history of mucinous tumors. It highlights the potential diagnostic challenge posed by such a rare presentation and emphasizes the need for further research into mechanisms underlying extra-ovarian recurrences.
黏液性囊腺瘤（MCs）的卵巢外复发是一种罕见现象。本病例报告展示了首例有记录的良性MC在一名48岁女性子宫肌层内复发的病例。在因左侧大卵巢MC行卵巢切除术后两年，患者出现下腹痛。影像学检查发现盆腔肿块，随后手术确定了一个起源于子宫底部的囊性病变。组织病理学检查证实为良性MC。该病例强调了对盆腔囊性病变进行广泛鉴别诊断的重要性，尤其是在有黏液性肿瘤病史的患者中。它突出了这种罕见表现所带来的潜在诊断挑战，并强调需要进一步研究卵巢外复发的潜在机制。
