Clear cell carcinoma of endometrium.
Three cases of clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium are here reported. Clear cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive type of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Patients are older and are in the menopause much longer than are patients with typical endometrial carcinoma. This fact may reflect the presence of counterbalanced sex hormones in the process of carcinogenesis.
