*3.5.5 Endometriosis and skin cancer*

L.V. Farland et al. observed that women with endometriosis do have an increased risk of skin cancers, mostly associated with melanoma. They also found no association of endometriosis with basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma [43]. A similar association was also observed by M. Kvaskoff et al. They attributed hormonal hypothesis and some molecular genetic alteration in both the conditions [44].
