In cases of endometrial carcinoma where hysterectomy was performed, we examined histologically the marginal endometrium. For comparison we formed a control group of women of the same age. In the age between 45 and 65 adenomatous hyperplasia in the cancer group is found significantly more often. The glandular-cystic hyperplasia is found more frequently in the age group beyond 55, especially in women beyond 65. The simultaneous incidence of adenomatous hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma suggests this form of hyperplasia being precancerous. Before the menopause the glandular-cystic hyperplasia does not seem essential for the origin of the endometrial cancer. It is not yet known why the glandular-cystic hyperplasia is found more frequently in postmenopausal women with endometrial carcinoma. The role of the estrogenic hormones as agents possibly forming a good terrain for the endometrial cancer is discussed.
