RESUMO
The authors describe 12 women with endometrioid ovarian carcinoma at the age of 28 to 74 years. Endometrioid carcinoma is accompanied by endometrial carcinoma in 4 women. Five patients are at I stage, 5 patients--at II stage and 1 patient--at III and IV stage. All women are operated and have total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy and 7 women have omectomy and 5 are without omectomy. All are treated by postoperative telegammatherapy: 8 patients-at the region of the pelvis 1--woman-at the pelvis and para-aortal lymph chains, 2 patients--with band irradiation of the whole abdomen and 1 woman is irradiated palliatively. 7 out of 8 patients treated radically and followed over 5 years, are clinically healthy and only 1 is dead and she been at III stage. In the last case there has been mesonephroid component and it has caused probably more malignant course of the disease. An inference is made that the complex treatment of endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary--radical operation and postoperative irradiation, gives good results.
