ABSTRACT: This report documents a rare case of complete
spontaneous regression of clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium. An elderly
woman with paranoid schizophrenia was admitted to the hospital because of
vaginal bleeding. Diagnostic curetting and biopsy were performed and she was
diagnosed with clear cell carcinoma of endometrium. Anti-tumour therapy was not
possible because of her poor psychiatric status. 13 months later the woman died
of a natural cause and at autopsy the endometrial tumour could no longer be
identified. Myocardial infarction, aggravated by poor functional status of
organism due to sepsis, was concluded to be the cause of death.
