Abstract
Estrogen-dependent endometrial carcinomas habitually arise through a p recursor lesion such as endometrial hyperplasia. The hormonal environm ent of these patients remains unclear. Two cases of neoplastic changes in the endometrium of patients with a chronic hyperprolactinemia are presented. Despite the treatment with bromocriptine both patients deve loped endometrial adenocarcinomas. Possible mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors are discussed.
