Endometrial Carcinoma In Young Woman: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma is the most common invasive neoplasm of the female genital tract. Most woman are postmenopausal, as the disease is relatively uncommon in young woman. Only 1–8% of endometrial carcinomas occur in woman under 40 years. We reported a case of endometrioid carcinoma in young woman aged 32 years where the incidence is very less. Diagnosis of such cases using various diagnostic modalities is useful in early stages so as to increase the prognosis and outcome. Overall prognosis and outcome of the Endometrial carcinoma is relatively good in young age when compared to that of endometrial cancers occuring in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal age groups. Conservative hormonal therapy is given for young patients who want to conceive but for patients who finished their family , hysterectomy is the definitive treatment. Regular follow up with endometrial biopsy is required for those who have undergone conservative hormonal and hysteroscopic endometrial ablation. No follow up is required for hysterectomized patients.
