Intrauterine pregnancy coincident with endometrial carcinoma: a case study and review of the literature.
A case of endometrial adenocarcinoma discovered incidentally in a patient who underwent an elective abortion is described here. Eleven other cases of pregnancy occurring with endometrial carcinoma were found in the literature. The presence of immature progesterone unresponsive endometrium is discussed as a possible etiology of the unusual coincidence of these two common phenomena.
