Benign inflammatory cervical smear in a background of normal diagnostic dilatation and curettage finding - a rare presentation of endometrial carcinoma

Endometrial carcinoma is a primary tumor of the uterus that usually presented with abnormal uterine bleeding commonly in post-menopausal woman. However, it can also manifests as abnormal cervical cytology even in a pre-menopausal age group which should be confirmed by endometrial biopsy.[1,2] There...
