title: Aggressive endometrial cancer in a young patient.
abstract: An unusually aggressive case of endometrial cancer in a 30 year old woman is presented. The patient experienced abnormal uterine bleeding, at times requiring blood transfusions, for almost half a year before the diagnosis was revealed. For obvious reasons there is a reluctancy to perform invasive examinations in young women. The diagnostic options are discussed.
