Giant cell carcinoma of endometrium: A rare case report and review of literature

2016 
Giant cell carcinoma of uterus is an aggressive form of endometrial carcinoma. It can be confused on histopathology with other giant cell containing lesions including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed mullerian tumors. Due to the paucity of cases of this rare subtype, the prognostic parameters are difficult to assess. We describe here one such case in a 60-year-old female who presented with postmenopausal bleeding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the 13 th case being reported in world literature. We intend to describe this case due to its rarity, failure to recognize this tumor as a subtype, and lack of definition and guidelines in the literature for accurate classification.
