Abstract

Background: Serous endometrial intraepithelial carcinoma (SEIC) is very rare, and the diagnosis is made through hysterectomy in most cases. To the best of the present authors’ knowledge, there is only three reported cases of SEIC diagnosed by hysteroscopic transcervical resection in the English language medical literature. Case Report: A 68-year-old woman presented with SEIC. The initial diagnosis was established by hysteroscopic transcervical resection and immunohistochemistry. The final diagnosis was established postoperatively by hysterectomy. To date, five months after operation, the patient is alive with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. Conclusion: Hysteroscopic exam may be necessary in cases of patients with an abnormal cytology or histology of endometrium to detect SEIC.
