The extent of tumor, CT scan findings, elevated serum CA – 125 levels were suggestive of ovarian malignancy. Histopathology demonstrated endometrial glands and stroma. Glands were neither crowded nor complex and were separated by a fibromatous stroma that contained endometrial stromal cells. These features were consistent with diagnosis of polypoid endometriosis, a recently described entity with a clinical presentation completely different from conventional endometriosis. Our case emphasizes the association of high levels of CA – 125 with benign gynaecologic conditions.   UR - https://ijp.iranpath.org/article_8243.html L1 - https://ijp.iranpath.org/article_8243_e030282b967780aebaa7b5884b22ed5c.pdf ER -
