Gynecol Oncol. 1989 Apr;33(1):121-4. doi: 10.1016/0090-8258(89)90616-1.

Abstract

A case of glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium with pulmonary metastasis was responsive to treatment with a progestational agent. We believe this to be the first reported case of glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium responsive to this form of therapy.
