A metastatic focus of small circumscribed carcinoma in an endometrial polyp is extremely rare. Most of these reported cases have a primary carcinoma of the breast. We report a circumscribed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in an endometrial polyp. This, to the best of our knowledge, is the first case report of metastasis of cervical carcinoma to a benign endometrial polyp.

BACKGROUND An endometrial polyp is a frequently encountered gynecologic disease with abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility being the two common presenting problems, and hysteroscopic polypectomy is an effective method to remove them. The postoperative polyp recurrence might result in reappearance of abnormal uterine bleeding or infertility, whereas factors influencing the postoperative recu...

We present a 32-year-old patient with solitary brain metastasis of endometrial carcinoma. The single frontal lobe metastasis was determined seven months after surgical staging of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The initial diagnosis was determined by hysterescopic resection of an endometrial polyp. The lesion was only limited to the endometrial polyp and there was no evidence of disease at the path...

AIMS To determine the type of endometrial abnormalities associated with prolonged tamoxifen treatment and to investigate the correlation between tamoxifen dose and any abnormalities detected. METHODS Endometria from 19 prospectively collected breast cancer patients treated with tamoxifen were ascribed a pathological diagnosis and the findings compared with those in a control group matched for...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of transvaginal power Doppler sonography to discriminate between benign and malignant endometrial conditions in women presenting with postmenopausal bleeding and thickened endometrium at baseline sonography. METHODS Ninety-one postmenopausal women (median age, 58 years; range, 47-83 years) presenting with uterine bleeding and a thickened endometrium (> or = 5-mm...

UNLABELLED The aim, of this prospective study was to estimate whether the presence of endometrial fluid detected by transvaginal ultrasound investigation was a marker for the pathological changes of the endometrium in postmenopausal women.
