Although endometriosis is considered as a benign condition, it sometimes behaves like cancer. Methods:All medical records of epithelial ovarian cancer patients during January 2011 to December 2016 were reviewed.Recurrent cases were excluded. Data collected included age at diagnosis, parity, marital status, familial history of cancer,menopausal status, weight, height, smoking histroy, contraception, CA 125 level, result of surgery and pathologicalreport. Results: One hundred and seventy-two medical records of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) wereincluded. Average age at diagnosis was 52.3 years. Epithelial ovarian cancer coexisting with endometriosis (EAOC)was found in nearly one-fifth of cases. Nullipara and smoking were associated with 2.3 and 8.3 fold higher risk ofEAOC development (aOR 2.349, 95%CI 1.012-5.451; aOR 8.26, 95%CI 1.234-55.278; respectively). Age, familialhistory of cancer and coexistence with endometriosis were factors related to surgical outcome. More of EAOC grouphad optimal surgery compared to the non-EAOC group (61.3% and 41.8%) with statistical significance. Conclusion:Younger age, familial history of cancer and coexistence of endometriosis were factors related to optimal surgery.Success of optimal surgery is greater in EAOC than in non-EAOC patients. Coexistence of endometriosis does nothinder successful ovarian cancer debulking surgery. %U https://journal.waocp.org/article_57474_9d5af33114dd7d6ed6c795db15b6068d.pdf
