[Endometrial carcinoma arising from endometriosis in the episiotomy scar].
The author presents a case of a 70-year-old womens adenocarcinoma, arising from endometriosis in the scar of an episiotomy decades after labour. Although the discrete lesion appeared to be removed completely it soon recurred after operation. Due to the worsening progression of her general condition she failed to receive an adequate therapy. Despite the fatal outcome of this case the author emphasis the importance of an early diagnosis and medical intervention. The knowledge of this phenomenon is essential in the everyday practice.
