Figure 1 A posterior view of a double uterus from a 78-year-old woman with uterine bleeding is shown. On the right, an endometrial carcinoma (histologically classified as a grade II adenocarcinoma) has invaded the superficial third of the myometrium (arrow). The endometrium of the left fundus reveals cystic atrophy. The “s” indicates the septum between two endocervical canals.
