Abstract

Among 30 cases of uterine body cancers, in eight cases (Stage IA, two cases; Stage IB, six cases) uterine adenomyosis was demonstrated microscopically. The age range was from 46 to 66 years with a median of 56. When these eight cases were compared with the 12 cases of Stage I endometrial cancer without adenomyosis, there was no difference in either menstrual history or family history, although past histories of hypertension and diabetes mellitus were found in these eight cases. The mean obesity index was 127 in eight cases and 116 in 12 cases. Seven of these eight cases were pure tubular adenocarcinoma. From the standpoint of early myometrial infiltration of the endometrial cancer, these eight cases not only provided a good model to survey early endometrial cancer but also suggested a common stimulus, such as estrogen, in both endometrial cancer and uterine adenomyosis.
