A 43-year-old woman underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterine body(Stage ⅢC)at 40 years of age. Screening of the adenocarcinoma samples for Lynch syndrome by immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair proteins indicated a loss of MSH2/MSH6 proteinexpression . A genetic test revealed a deletion of about 20 kb, including exons 8 and 9 of the EPCAM gene. Colonoscopy revealed a type 1 tumor in the cecum. The risk of developing metachronous colorectal cancer and postoperative survival according to the extent of colectomy(total colectomy versus segmental colectomy)and her marked obesity were considered collectively. The patient subsequently selected total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis. Pathological findings revealed mucinous carcinoma(Stage Ⅱ). Patients with Lynch syndrome caused by deletion of EPCAM are not usually at a high risk of uterine body cancer, but the risk of developing uterine body cancer should be noted when the range of EPCAM deletion extends near to MSH2, as inthis case.
