Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Endocrinology

Background:

  • Endometriosis is a condition typically diagnosed in premenopausal women.
  • Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) is often prescribed for menopausal symptoms.

Observation:

  • A case of postmenopausal endometrioma was observed in a patient undergoing HRT.
  • The patient presented with typical symptoms of pelvic pain and a palpable mass.

Findings:

  • Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) can lead to the reactivation of endometriosis in postmenopausal women.
  • Endometrioma formation is a possible consequence of HRT in susceptible individuals.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for endometriosis in postmenopausal women on HRT.
