Objective. Endometriotic tissue implants rarely transform to malignant tissue, especially in a patient with a hysterectomy and bilaterally salpingo-oophorectomy. However, several cases with cancer arising from endometriosis after hysterectomy were reported in the literature. Hormone replacement therapy only with estrogen is a crucial risk factor for malignant transformation of persistent endometriotic tissue. Case Report. The present case demonstrates an endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from persistent endometriosis tissue in a patient who was performed hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy 3 years ago. The histopathologic specimens of the previous surgery did not include any malignant tissue. After 3 years, she applied to the hospital with abnormal vaginal bleeding, and her histopathologic examination result found an ulcerated mass at the upper one-third of the vagina that is compatible with endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Conclusion. It is crucial to keep in mind the endometriosis history of the patient, to be able to diagnose cancer arising from endometriosis while evaluating the patient with a hysterectomy.

“…Early menarche (under 10 years of age), a poor diet, obesity, alcohol consumption (especially beer), the black race, essential hypertension and a familial predisposition are linked with a greater risk of fibroid genesis. On the other hand, factors like being physically active, having a healthy diet and having one or more pregnancies are all linked to having a lower risk of developing uterine fibroids [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Uterine leiomyomatosis is one of the most common benign pelvic tumors diagnosed in women aged 25-44 years. Clinically, it is manifested by vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, digestive and urinary symptoms. The diagnosis of uterine fibroids requires careful clinical and paraclinical evaluation. Based on these data, the therapeutic decision is conducted in most cases. The treatment of uterine leiomyomatosis involves several procedures, such as: total abdominal hystectomy, total vaginal hystectomy, abdominal myomectomy, vaginal, laparoscopic or hysteroscopic myomectomy. Hysteroscopic myomectomy is currently the preferred procedure for submucosal fibroids. It has multiple advantages: shorter recovery time, reduced pain related to movements, shorter duration procedure and fewer risks. The procedure has few contraindications. The most common complication is recurrence. The treatment of choice for prolapsed pedunculated submucous leiomyoma is vaginal myomectomy. As described, the procedure has multiple advantages and generally has a low recurrence rate.
