Abstract
The clinical and histologic findings in 10 patients, 15–20 years of age, with complex hyperplasia or well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the endometrium are presented. The morphologic distinction between the two lesions is discussed, and the frequency of misdiagnosis of this form of hyperplasia as carcinoma in this age group is emphasized. No difference was found in the behavior of the two lesions in this series of cases whether or not a hysterectomy was performed.Keywords
