| A 69-year old menopause woman presented with severe vaginal bleeding lasting for 70 days. Sonographist reported a 7mm mass in uterus, however, serologic studies revealed an elevated β-hCG level. Patient was subjected for total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy, during which endometrial cancer tissue consisting of both adenosquamous and serous papillary cells were noted. β-hCG level is rarely supposed to elevate in endometrial cancer, however, its association with endometrial cancer should be further discussed. |
