“…[6] Patients with endometriosis at the urinary bladder frequently present with urinary frequency and if longstanding may present with hematuria due to the deep endometriotic infiltration. [78] This is in keeping with our patient whose initial hematuria was overlooked. This case highlights the benefits of 18F-FDG PET/CT in our management planning, by excluding distant metastasis to the liver and identifying the nature of the soft tissue mass at the right posterolateral wall of the urinary bladder.…”

Endometriosis is commonly associated with chronic pelvic pain and its presentation varies between individuals. The only way to confirm the presence of endometriosis is via keyhole or open surgery. In the presence of hematuria, deep endometriotic infiltration needs to be considered. We share an interesting case highlighting the role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in evaluating a posterior urinary bladder wall lesion and hypodense liver lesions in a middle-aged woman with presenting with frank hematuria in the background of treated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and adenomyosis.

“…Recently, Yang et al reported and reviewed the 10 cases of malignant tumors located in the rectovaginal septum related to endometriosis [ 13 ]. Although even more rare, Tarumi et al reported and reviewed 9 cases of malignant transformation arising from DIE in the bladder [ 14 ]. The histological type of the malignancy that occurred was endometrioid and clear cell adenocarcinoma in both the rectovaginal septum and the bladder.…”

Background Endometriosis can potentially lead to the development of a malignant tumor. Most malignant tumors arising from the endometriosis originate from the ovarian endometrioma, whereas those arising from extragonadal lesions are rare. We report a rare case of endometrioid carcinoma that developed from deep infiltrating endometriosis in the uterosacral ligament 6 years after treatment for atypical proliferative endometrioid tumor of the ovary in a 48-year-old woman. Case presentation Six years ago, the patient underwent laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for her right ovarian tumor with atypical proliferative (borderline) endometrioid tumor accompanied by ovarian endometrioma. The solid tumor in the cul-de-sac was detected during follow-up using magnetic resonance imaging. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography revealed an abnormal accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose at the tumor site. Thus, tumor recurrence with borderline malignancy was suspected. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy followed by hysterectomy and partial omentectomy. Retroperitoneal pelvic lymphadenectomy and para-aortic lymphadenectomy were also performed. The cul-de-sac tumor at the left uterosacral ligament was microscopically diagnosed as invasive endometrioid carcinoma arising from deep infiltrating endometriosis. The final diagnosis was primary stage IIB peritoneal carcinoma. The patient received six courses of monthly paclitaxel and carboplatin as adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient showed no evidence of recurrence for 2 years after the treatments. Conclusion This study reports a rare case of metachronous endometriosis-related malignancy that developed 6 years after treatment for borderline ovarian tumor. If endometriosis lesions remain after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, the physician should keep the malignant nature of endometriosis in mind.
