Journal Title: Journal of Postgraduate Medicine Education and Research - Year 2017, Vol 51, Issue 3
Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in developed countries, and its incidence has more than doubled over the last 10 years. Clear cell carcinoma typically occurs in the ovaries, is rarely seen in the cervix or vagina, and very rarely occurs in the endometrium, accounting for less than 3% of all endometrial cancers. Clear cell carcinoma is characterized by abundant cytoplasm like in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and clear hobnail cells,1 it is presumed that clear cell carcinomas are of Müllerian duct origin.1 The authors report a rare case of a 57-year-old woman who visited our hospital due to postmenopausal vaginal bleeding and had advanced stage clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium.
