Introduction


Endometrioid tumours of the ovary resemble common patterns of endometrial growth. Endometrioid epithelial neoplasms fall into four major categories: benign, prolifera­tive, endometnoid turnouts of low malignant potential and endometrioid carcinoma1. Endometrioid carcinoma is the third most cominon type of epithelialovarian carcinomas2  and comprising 16-30% of primary ovarian carcinomas3. The mean age is the fifth decade and it is rarely seen in young females.
