Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol. 1993 Aug;33(3):330-2. doi: 10.1111/j.1479-828x.1993.tb02102.x.

Abstract

Primary endometrial squamous cell carcinoma is a rare variant of uterine epithelial malignancy. A review of records over a 10-year period at a major referral centre for gynaecological malignancy identified 4 patients with this disease. They were treated primarily by surgery, with adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy in 3 cases. In comparison to previously reported cases the length of survival for these patients was long.
