Zusammenfassung:Abstract This paper reports a postmenopausal woman with a rare florid cystic endosalpingosis presenting as an ovarian cyst, together with cystic lesions in the pelvis. She had chronic pelvic pain and ultrasound diagnosed cystic lesions in the pelvis. Surgical laparoscopic management was planned and executed successfully with the condition being diagnosed at the time of surgery and confirmed by histology. We describe our surgical technique to excise these lesions and follow with a discussion about the possible implications endosalpingiosis has regarding high grade serous neoplasms and the tubal origin of these malignancies.
