| Abstract | Endometrial carcinoma is rare in women under 40 years of age. The incidence in this age group has been variously reported to be from 1% to 8% of all cases of endometrial carcinoma. Women at high risk, as a result of excess estrogenic stimulation are those with polycystic ovaries, long-standing estrogen users and functioning granulosa cell tumors and thecomas. We report two cases of young women with endometrial carcinoma and polycystic ovaries (Stein-Leventhal syndrome). |
