Endometrioid ovarian cancer arising from an endometriotic cyst in a young patient.

The article presents a case of 33-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma which arises from an endometriotic cyst. The patient has chronic pelvic pain but did not complain of dysmenorrhea or dyspareunia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 6 centimeter (cm) mass in the Douglas pouch after one month of diagnostic laparoscopy. The patient received four cyles of carboplatin/taxol chemotherapy following an exploratory laparotomy which revealed no pathology.
