Clear cell carcinoma of the pelvic side wall arising from endometriosis

We present a case depicting a 63 year-old woman who presented with an apparent inguinal hernia in 2017; she was ultimately diagnosed with a pelvic side wall clear cell carcinoma with metastatic disease to the medial groin, which emanated from endometriosis. Malignant transformation of endometriosis identified in the pelvic side wall is a very rare finding. Nevertheless, oncologists should maintain a high index of suspicion in patients with a history of endometriosis or prior pelvic surgery.
