title: Endometrial carcinoma in a patient with blepharophimosis syndrome and menstrual abnormality.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a woman with blepharophimosis syndrome and menstrual abnormality who developed endometrial carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 26-year-old woman with blepharophimosis syndrome and menstrual abnormality had increased serum luteinizing hormone and serum follicle-stimulating hormone levels. She was followed up for 5 years.
  
  
  RESULTS
  She developed endometrial carcinoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients with blepharophimosis syndrome and menstrual abnormality should be examined gynecologically. Hormone-dependent endometrial carcinoma may develop.
