title: [The role of hysteroscopy in the early diagnosis of small, focal endometrial neoplasms].
abstract: Hysteroscopy is a useful methodology for the diagnosis of uterine intracavitary disorders in women suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding. The authors report a case of small endometrial adenocarcinoma and then they discuss on validity of hysteroscopy in comparison with blind curettage of uterine cavity for the precocious diagnosis of such lesion.
