Objective: To determine the prevalence of ovarian endometriosis in malignant epithelial
ovarian tumours. Study design: A retrospective analysis of 160 malignant and 23 borderline
ovarian tumours during the period 1995–2001. Results: Fourteen (7.7%) of the tumours
contained endometriosis. This affected 22% of the endometrioid and 10.8% of the mixed
adenocarcinomas. The mean age of the ovarian endometriosis patients was 43±13 range
26–70 years. The incidence in borderline tumours 13%(3/23) was higher than that in ovarian …

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the occurence of ovarian
endometriosis in malignant epithelial ovarian tumors in our population. Design:
Retrospective analysis. Materials/Methods: The presence of ovarian endometriosis was
determined by reviewing the sections of resected specimens in 183 malignant epithelial
tumors of ovary (160 malignant and 23 borderline) during the period 1995 to 2001. Results:
