The authors demonstrate a rare case of an adenocarcinoma of the uterus associated with a uterus septus. The concomitance of carcinoma and congenital uterine anomalies is coincidental and has no causal connection. Congenital anomalies of the uterus which remain undetected can be responsible for serious delay in diagnosis of carcinoma and may adversely interfere with treatment efforts.

Mullerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are congenital defects of the female genital system that arise from abnormal embryological development of the Mullerian ducts. Septate uterus is the most common, resulting from incomplete resorption of the medial septum after fusion of the Mullerian ducts. Two main types of septate uterus exist, including septa that extend completely or partially from the uterine fundus to the cervical os.

Objective: To investigate the pathogenesis of endometriosis by studying endometriosis coexisting with variable genital tract anomalies and analysis the association between obstructive or non-obstructive anomalies with endometriosis.
Methods: From January 2000 to April 2010, a total of 67 cases of endometriosis coexisting with genital tract anomalies undergoing treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were studied retrospectively.
Results: According to subtypes of concurrent genital tract anomalies, 67 cases were divided into 19 cases in obstructive group and 48 cases in non-obstructive group.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the expression levels of heparanase (Hpa) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in endometriosis by comparing affected and normal endometrial tissues.
- Researchers analyzed tissue samples from 86 patients with endometriosis and 30 without, using techniques like RT-PCR and Western blotting to measure gene and protein expression.
- Results showed significantly higher levels of Hpa and Ang-2 in both ectopic and eutopic endometrial tissues of endometriosis patients compared to normal tissues, suggesting these proteins may play a key role in the disease's development.
