title: [Carcinoma of the endometrium in young women].
abstract: Eighteen cases of endometrial cancer under 45 years were clinically and pathologically reviewed. Epidemiological analysis confirmed obesity as an effective risk factor for this neoplasia. In only three cases the association of adenomatous hyperplasia with endometrial cancer was discovered. These data support the theory that in young women endometrial cancer is not an endocrine related neoplasia.
