Summary
A 63-year-old Jamaican negress had an endometrial stromal sarcoma arising in a paramesonephric cyst of the broad ligament. Morphological evidence is presented to show that the tumour arose from an area of endometriosis within the cyst wall. Subsequent metastases responded for a few months to cyclophosphamide therapy and the patient died 14 months after the onset of symptoms.
