Case #17
  
Clinical data: 74 year old woman operated on with subileus and peritoneal adhesions Frozen section diagnosis: Endometriosis. Pathology and comment: Endometriosis can be found most frequently in the bowel wall and urinary bladder but overall in the abdomen. Histological diagnosis is established on the determination of glands and surrounding cytogenic stroma. Remnants of blood in the glands support the diagnosis. In elder women the glands and stroma may be atrophic and the diagnosis more difficult. It is important to distinguish of carcinoma arising in endometriosis and of other carcinomas.
