ABSTRACT
Endometrial cancer is the most common malignant disorder that can be associated with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), which is known as Lynch II syndrome. HNPCC is a polyposis of the colon which is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and can cause cancer in other organs, especially in the endometrium. The overall risk of a women with HNPCC to develop endometrial cancer is 40-60%, much higher than the 3% of the general population of women. The average age of developing endometrial cancer of a women with HNPCC is 45 years of age and is often found before development of colon cancer. We have recently experienced a case of de novo type of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer associated with endometrial cancer, hence we are reporting this case with a brief review of literatures.
