Abstract
ZAMORA-GONZALES, Pedro L.; YAGUI-UKU, Carmen E.; PATINO-CALLA, Karina and GOICOCHEA-AREVALO, Ronald. Unusual presentation of endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising in ileum. A case report. Gac. mex. oncol. [online]. 2022, vol.21, suppl.1, pp.25-28. Epub Sep 11, 2023. ISSN 2565-005X. https://doi.org/10.24875/j.gamo.22000111.
Intestinal endometriosis has been reported in women in 3 to 37%. Despite being a benign pathology, some reports describe an unusual malignant transformation, considered extremely rare and only about 50 cases has been described worlwide. We report an endometroid carcinoma of the ileum in a 44 years old woman with the history of endometriosis, which was verified with an inmunohistochemistry. It's important to establish a correct diagnostic for an appropiate therapy due the possibility of wrong diagnostic with another gastrointestinal neoplasm.
