Abstract
DEDIFFERENTIATED E NDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA IS A RARE OCCURRENCE IN UTERINE MALIGNANCIES. THIS HISTOPATHOLOGICA L SUBTYPE IS RELATIVELY NEW IN TUMOUR CLASSIFICATIONS AND MOLECULAR ALTERATIONS ARE IN CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT. WE DESCRIBE A 61 -YEAR-OLD WOMAN WITH THIS DI AGNOSIS ASSO CIATING TWO ENDOMETRIAL POLYPS WITH STROMAL ATYPIA. THIS TYPE OF ASSOCIATION HAS NOT BEE N PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AND DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. WE EXCLUDED OTHER POTENTIAL DIAGNOSES SUCH AS MIXED CARCINOMA OR CARCINOSARCOM A. OUR AIM WAS TO BRING RECOGNITION TO THIS RELATIVELY NEW LESION AND REVIEW THE LITERATURE.
Keywords
