Endometrial carcinoma usually occurs in postmenopausal women ; less than 5% occurs in women under the age of40. Up to one quarter of endometrial carcinoma patients below this age have PCO(polycystic ovary disease, Stein-Leventhal syndrome). The increased incidence of endometrial carcinoma in patients with PCO is related tochronic estrogenic stimulation. We report MR imaging in one case of endometrial carcinoma occuring in a 23 yearold woman with PCO and had complained of hypermenorrhea for about three years. On T2-weighted MR image theendometrial cavity was seen to be distended with protruded endometrial masses of intermediate signal intensity, and the junctional zone was disrupted beneath the masses. Both ovaries were best seen on T2-weighted MR imagingand showed multiple small peripheral cysts and low signal-intensity central stroma.
