Co-existing endometrial adenocarcinoma and tubal ectopic pregnancy: a case report.
Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium co-existing with pregnancy is a rare event. Twelve such cases have been reported in patients with intrauterine pregnancies. Co-existence with tubal ectopic pregnancy is even more uncommon. Only one such patient with tubal ectopic pregnancy was found in the literature; the pathologic findings were not, however, illustrated. We report on a very rare event, co-existing adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and ectopic tubal pregnancy, with illustration of the pathologic finding.
