A Rare Presentation of Polypoid Endometriosis of the Douglas Pouch: Case Report.
Emilie DemondionYves BorghesiNathalie TrouilletPublished in: Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology (2024)
A case is reported of a 46-year-old woman referred to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for menometrorrhagia. MRI revealed a mass lesion lateral to the uterus fundus, suspicious of an ovarian granulosa cell tumor. Extensive surgery was performed. Histological examination revealed a polypoid endometriosis lesion arising from the Douglas pouch. Teaching point: Polypoid endometriosis is a rare benign entity with a challenging differential diagnosis from malignancy. Specific MRI features can contribute to the diagnosis and thus avoid excessive surgical resection.
