Benign inflammatory cervical smear in a background of normal diagnostic dilatation and curettage finding - A rare presentation of endometrial carcinoma
Endometrial carcinoma is a primary tumor of the uterus that usually presented with abnormal uterine bleeding commonly in post menopausal woman. However, it can also manifests as abnormal cervical cytology even in a pre-menopausal age group which should be confirmed by endometrial biopsy. Dilatation...
