Abstract
- Endometriosis is an estrogen dependent disease in reproductive age. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecologic disease. Problems associated with endometriosis include dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Postmenopausal endometriosis is rare; however, postmenopausal endometriosis is infrequently associated with cancer, thus management is most important for gynecologists. We present two cases of endometriosis associated with postmenopausal women who were not receiving menopausal hormone therapy with a retrospective review of the medical records and a brief review of the literature.
