Abstract
This paper describes the appearance of a clear cell carcinoma in an endometrial polyp of an 80-year-old patient. The transition between benign and malignant tissue in the polyp was abrupt and did not involve the presence of atypical hyperplasia. Overexpression of p53 protein was detected in the tumour but not in the benign tissue. There was a lack of oestrogen receptors in the clear cell carcinoma but not in the polyp.
