'''Endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary''' is a relatively uncommon malignant tumour of the ovary. | |||
It is also known as '''endometrioid ovarian carcinoma''', '''endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary''', and '''ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma'''. | |||
==General== | |||
*Associated with [[endometriosis]], i.e. people with endometriosis are more likely to have 'em. | |||
==Gross== | |||
