Endometrioid adenocarcinoma originating simultaneously from endometrium, sites of adenomyosis and ovarian endometriosis: A case report and review of our cancer database.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAlthough adenomyosis is a common disease, it is a relatively rare site for cancer origin. On the other hand, chocolate cysts have the potential to develop into cancer. We report a case of endometrioid adenocarcinoma occurred at three sites simultaneously; uterine endometrium, adenomyosis and ovarian endometriosis. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 51-year-old woman underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy after a diagnosis of corpus cancer (endometrioid adenocarcinoma, G1) stage IA. However, cancer was also found independently at the site of adenomyosis and in endometrioid cysts after a detailed postoperative histological investigation. There has been no sign of recurrence at 12 months after six cycles of chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin. DISCUSSION: We reviewed cases of corpus cancer between January 2011 and December 2015 from our cancer database. Two hundred thirty-three patients with corpus cancer were identified. Ovarian malignancies were found in nine cases and six cases of them were histologically the same with the corpus cancer, but ovarian endometriosis was found in only two cases. On the other hand, adenomyosis was found histologically in 30 of these cases, but the case presented here was the only one diagnosed with cancer at a site of adenomyosis.
conclusionThe mechanism by which malignancy develops in the normal endometrial tissue is not clear, but if endometrial cancer is found in the uterus, it could also be present in ectopic endometrial tissues such as sites of adenomyosis or chocolate cysts.
