<Abstract>Pure signet-ring cell carcinomas of the uterine corpus usually raise the suspicion for a metastatic tumor from other primary sites, e.g., breast or the gastrointestinal tract. And if primary in the uterus, it is more commonly of uterine cervical origin with secondary involvement of the corpus. In general, pure mucinous carcinoma of the endometrium is rare and pure signet-ring cell carcinoma, a form of mucinous carcinoma, is even rarer. Only sparse case reports of primary mucinous adenocarcinoma of the uterine corpus with signet-ring cell features have been described in literature. We report here a case of pure mucinous signet-ring cell carcinoma of the uterine corpus in a 63 year-old morbidly obese woman.</Abstract>
