Dr. Jagriti Jangra* and Dr. Payal Saini

ABSTRACT

Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent chronic inflammatory disease defined by presence of endometrial gland and stroma out of the uterine cavity. The prevalence of endometriosis ranges from 6% to 10% in women of reproductive age group and 2% to 5% in postmenopausal women.[1] Endometriosis and ovarian malignancy can have similar risk factors like nulliparity, late childbearing and history of infertility, hence either can mimic the other.
