Area of Science:

  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Neurology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Endometriosis is a prevalent condition causing significant morbidity.
  • Sciatic nerve endometriosis is a rare manifestation, often presenting with cyclical sciatica mimicking other neurological conditions.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its varied presentation.

Observation:

  • This report details the first case of histologically confirmed endometrial carcinoma arising within a pre-existing sciatic nerve endometriosis.
  • The patient initially underwent radiotherapy for the condition.
  • Persistent symptoms led to surgical intervention for improved symptom control and long-term prognosis.

Findings:

  • Malignant transformation of sciatic nerve endometriosis into endometrial carcinoma is a documented occurrence.
  • Radiotherapy alone was insufficient for symptom management in this case.
  • Surgical management was pursued for definitive treatment and prognostic improvement.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the necessity of including sciatic nerve endometriosis in the differential diagnosis for cyclical sciatica.
  • It highlights the potential for malignant transformation within endometriosis, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring.
  • The findings suggest that surgical intervention may be crucial for optimal outcomes in advanced or malignant sciatic nerve endometriosis.
