Abstract
Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue becomes impla nted on extrauterine sites, most commonly within the pelvis, Malignant transformation of endometriotic foci is rare, but has been frequently reported, We describe a patient with a CT scan demonstrating patholog ically proven perihepatic endometriosis, including malignant transform ation. Endometrioses should be considered in the differential diagnosi s of perihepatic masses.
