Primary XXXX of the endometrium: a case report and review of the literature.

@entity1 @entity3556 @entity5 @entity2970 @entity160
A 49-year-old @entity1 was admitted with abnormal @entity3556 of 5 months duration. Hysteroscopy showed polypoid formations in the uterine cavity. Biopsy of a polyp revealed an anaplastic @entity5 . A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and iliac lymphadenectomy were performed. A polypoid soft white-yellowish @entity5 originated from the endometrium. The biopsies plus sections of the operative specimen were histologically similar and displayed typical features of @entity2970 ( @entity2970 ) with tubulo-papillary pattern. Schiller-Duval bodies and PAS-positive, diastase-resistant, hyaline droplets were present. There was no neoplastic involvement of the cervix, ovaries, and iliac lymph nodes. @entity5 cells and hyaline globules were strongly immunoreactive with @entity160 antibody. The @entity1 refused chemotherapy and was subsequently treated by external radiotherapy. The @entity1 remained free of disease 28 months after surgery. There are only four additional cases of primary @entity2970 of the endometrium reported in literature. On the basis of the small number of cases reported, such @entity5 appear to have clinical and pathological features similar to their ovarian counterparts.
