Abstract

Malignant endometrioid-associated neoplasias are malignant tumors wich develop as a result of malignant transformation of endometrioid heterotopias outside the uterus. The mechanisms of their transformation are diverse, and oncological risks are known only for ovarian and breast cancer.

The article presents a rare clinical case of malignant endometrioid-associated neoplasia of a postoperative scar in a 67-year-old woman. Differential criteria and prognostic factors of the disease course are considered. The literature data on this issue were analyzed. Literature search was carried out in PubMed, eLIBRARY.RU databases over the past 5 years was performed for the search words: malignant endometrioid-associated neoplasia, endometrioid cancer of postoperative scar.

Malignant endometrioid-associated neoplasia of the postoperative scar is a rare malignant tumor that develops from endometrioid heterotopia in women who have undergone surgery on the pelvic organs. Oncological look-out and timely routing of such patients to a specialized level can increase the effectiveness of treatment and improve the prognosis of such patients.
