An endometrial carcinoma developing in a patient with pure Turner's syndrome was described. The patient showed typical Turner's phenotype and analysis of karyotype revealed only 45,X. Secondary sexual development had been seen until age 20 and she had no history of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The enlarged uterus and normal appearance of bilateral ovaries were detected at laparotomy. A well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and a graafian follicle of the left ovary were histologically confirmed. This seems to be the first report of the occurrence of endometrial carcinoma in possibly pure Turner's syndrome without HRT.

D014424 Turner Syndrome A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.
