Abstract
Peritoneal keratin granulomatosis is a rare tumor-like lesion caused by deposition of tumor-produced keratin. It may be associated with endometrial or ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma, atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the endometrium, or ruptured mature teratomas of the ovary. We present 2 cases of peritoneal keratin granulomatosis associated with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma. This entity can mimic advanced-stage disease clinically and radiologically, as it did in those cases, and constitutes a diagnostic pitfall that pathologists and surgeons must be aware.
