with injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate in January 1978, in July 1980
severe metrorrhagia appeared and continued until December 1980 when an
exploratory curettage revealed the existence of endometrial carcinoma.
This diagnosis was confirmed by hysterectomy. Cases such as the one
presented here are extremely rare, since medroxyprogesterone is commonly
used to cure endometrial cancer. It is possible, that the adenocarcinoma
was not hormone dependent since the patient was not yet menopausal, obese,
or diabetic, and the dose of medroxyprogesterone used was insufficient to
stop the evolution of the endometrial carcinoma. In the published
literature there are no cases similar to the one presented here. In case
of persistent metrorrhagia in patients treated with medroxyprogesterone
acetate, an exploratory curettage is absolutely necessary.
