A single horn endometrial carcinoma of a uterus bicornis unicollis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this report, we describe a case of endometrial carcinoma arising in one horn of a bicornuate uterus. The diagnosis of
this rare combination can be missed unless an unrecognized postmenopausal bleeding alerts the gynecologist to make a
careful search for both endometrial cavities that may be curetted. Physicians should remember the possible existence of
a separate uterine cavity when endometrial cancer is clinically suspected but histology fails to confirm the diagnosis.
