Abstract
|
|
|
Adenocarcinoma of the endometrium is presently the most common gynecologic malignancy in the U.S.A. and Europe. Also, in Korea the incidence of endometrial carcinoma tends to increase gradually. Fortunately, because most of the patients who
develop
this
disease are diagnosed in stage I, there is usually a good prognosis.
But the prognosis of the serous papillary endometrial carcinoua(SPEC), subtype of endometrial carcinoma is very poor, it must be diagnosed in the early stage for proper treatment. The SPEC represents 1.1% to 10% of all adenocarcinoma of the
endometrium
and tends to develop at 60 or above years after menopause almostly.
We experienced a case of the SPEC diagnosed after explolaparotomy in 62 years old women and we present this case with a brief review of the literatures.
