THE possibility of malignant change in endometriosis of the ovary has been discussed in numerous papers published since 1925 when Sampson described 7 cases of ovarian carcinoma in which adjacent endometrial tissue could be seen. In 4 of these cases he suggested that the carcinoma arose as a secondary change in a benign endometrial cyst. The difficulty of establishing that a carcinoma has arisen in this way is well recognized and subsequent writers have been more critical; Novak (1947), for example, considered that only one of Sampson’s cases was acceptable. To be satisfied that a malignant growth has arisen in an endometrioma the following criteria may be necessary: (1) The malignant tumour must be in direct relationship to the endometrioma, and preferably direct transition between the endometrioma and carcinoma should be seen. (2) No other primary site of malignant disease should be evident. (3) The histological appearance of the malignant growth should be such that its origin from an endometrioma is possible. The following list includes the majority of the cases of carcinoma arising in ovarian endometrioma that have been reported and in which the evidence for this origin is acceptable, although many other less convincing reports have been published : Sampson (1925), 1 case out of 7 described; Teilum (1945); McCullough et at. (1946); Kuzuma (1947), 1 case out of 2 described; 6 P1. 41 Novak (1947); Rauramo (1947); Miller et at. (1947); Moss and Runals (1948); Corner et al. (1950), 2 cases out of 6 described; Bacher and Hertzog (1951); Scott (1953); Hunter and Klein (1954), 1 case out of 2 described; Postoloff and Rodenberg (1955) ; Weinrod et al. (1956); Greene and Enterline (1957), 1 case out of 2 described. Ten of these 16 cases were adenocarcinomatous, and the others were adenoacanthomatous or of epidermoid type. In a recent report Thompson (1957) described 16 new cases of primary ovarian adenoacanthoma, and in 12 of these there was an association with endometriosis. In 7 cases the adenoacanthoma could actually be seen to arise in an area of endometriosis, so that these 7 cases may be added to the list above. It is likely that many other surgeons have encountered single cases of carcinoma arising in ovarian endometriomata and have not reported them, but to judge from the infrequency of such reports in the literature this must be a very rare type of cancer. For that reason we record the following case.
