Endometrial adenocarcinoma coexisting with an intrauterine pregnancy: a case report.
A rare case of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium discovered during curettage for incomplete abortion was presented and 12 similar cases in the literature were reviewed.  In 7 of the 12 patients, a complication of pregnancy led to the discovery of the tumor.  In the remaining five, the pregnancy occurred in patients known to have endometrial carcinoma.  Most of the cases were well differentiated and minimally invading the myometrium.  The pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis were described.
