Abstract
An unusually aggressive case of endometrial cancer in a 30 year old wo man is presented. The patient experienced abnormal uterine bleeding, a t times requiring blood transfusions, for almost half a year before th e diagnosis was revealed. For obvious reasons there is a reluctancy to perform invasive examinations in young women. The diagnostic options are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
