Endometriosis y carcinoma de celulas claras. Reporte de caso

Abstract

Endometriosis corresponds to the presence of endometrial glands or stroma at sites other than the uterine cavity. It affects 5 to 15% of women of reproductive age and is associated with a significant symptomatology. The theory of retrograde menstruation proposed by Sampson is the most accepted to explain its etiology. Several studies have associated this disease with an increase in neoplasia, the entity, called endometriosis associated with malignancy, is located in extra gonadal sites in 20% of cases, where the abdominal wall does not reach more than 30 reported cases. Although there is no standard treatment, most authors have adapted the treatment for ovarian cancer associated with endometriosis.
