Abstract
Fractional dilatation and curettage remain the most reliable methods in the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in the symptomatic patient. In the past few years hysteroscopy has become a helpful method, improving the specificity of the diagnosis of this pathology. We report a case of clinical stage IA grade 2 endometrial adenocarcinoma diagnosed by hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy. Surgical staging revealed positive cytology. We suggest that irrigation of the endometrial cavity during the hysteroscopic procedure with saline may disseminate the disease to the abdominal cavity and may change the prognosis and the course of treatment.
