Abstract

Icthyosis uteri is a rare condition in which the entire surface of endometrium is replaced by stratified squamous epithelium. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the endometrium (PSCCE) is still rare and its pathogenesis is unclear. Identification of PSCCE and its differentiation from endometrial involvement by squamous cell carcinoma of cervix & endometrioid carcinoma with massive squamous differentiation is essential for correct patient management and it is based on fluhmann criteria. We report a case of a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman satisfying the diagnostic criteria for PSCCE.
