Abstract

The aim of the present study was to discuss the clinicopathological characteristics of endometrial carcinoma in young females with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and to review the current literature. A total of 9 patients with histopathologically confirmed endometrial cancer in young females with PCOS at the West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University between December 2007 and September 2013 were included. The clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were analyzed. The age range of the patients was 24‑38 years (median age, 29), all of the cases had abnormal vaginal bleeding and endometrioid adenocarcinoma was the most common histopathological subtype observed (8 cases, 88.9%). Of the patients, 2 had well‑differentiated cases and 7 patients had moderately differentiated cases. None of the patients received regular PCOS treatments and did not turn up for regular check‑ups before they were diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. Additionally, 7 patients received staging laparotomy with a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‑oophorectomy, 1 patient underwent an endometrial resection under hysteroscopy and the final patient received a high‑dose of medroxyprogesterone treatment without surgery. In conclusion, doctors should take into consideration that young women with PCOS may also exhibit an endometrial carcinoma, and diagnosing and treating the endometrial carcinoma as early as possible in the young patients with PCOS is necessary.
