Abstract
Somatic PTEN alterations are common in endometrial carcinoma (EC), but in rare cases PTEN mutations are associated with inherited syndromes. Here, we present a case of Cowden syndrome-associated EC. We discuss clinical, pathologic and molecular features of her tumor and PTEN-mutated EC, inherited syndromes predisposing to EC and PTEN-targeted therapies.Entities:
