Abstract
Endometriosis occurs in 2-4% of postmenopausal women. There have been a few reports of endometriosis in women in whom neither history nor diagnostic imaging indicated the presence of this disease, either at reproductive age or after menopause. A case is described of an 84-year-old patient with extensive deep pelvic endometriosis imitating advanced neoplastic process.
