GONZALEZ-HERNANDEZ, Alma Rosa; TREVINO-SALINAS, Emilio Modesto; SORIA-LOPEZ, Juan Antonio e TREVINO-MONTEMAYOR, Óscar Rubén. Polypoid endometriosis: A variant of endometriosis. Ginecol. obstet. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.5, pp.342-345. Epub 20-Set-2021. ISSN 0300-9041. https://doi.org/10.24245/gom.v88i5.3798.
BACKGROUND:
Polypoid endometriosis was first introduced in 1980. It was used to describe an uncommon variant of endometriosis with histological features simulating an endometrial polyp and may be at risk of malignant transformation.
CLINICAL CASE:
A 46-year-old female presented with lower abdominal pain and Abnormal uterine bleeding. Image studies revealed an irregular shaped, heterogeneous mass adjacent to the ovary. Blood tests showed an elevated CA-125 value (75.2 U/ml). Resection of the mass was performed by laparotomy and the definitive study of histopathology revealed polypoid endometriosis. Currently the patient continues in surveillance without disease recurrence.
CONCLUSIONS:
Polypoid endometriosis is an uncommon variant of endometriosis, with the possibility of malignant evolution. This rare form of disease should be known, in order to provide adequate treatment for the patient.
