Endometriosis contributes to tumorigenesis via three major pathways. The malignant processes that are associated with endometriosis can be classified into three groups: i) epithelial ovarian cancers (endometrioid adenocarcinoma and clear cell carcinoma), ii) other Müllerian-type tumors (MMBT, SBT and LG-ET), as well as iii) sarcomas (adenosarcoma and ESS) in the female pelvic cavity.
