Description
Summary:	Among 178 patients operated for endometrial carcinoma during a five-year period, 17 were re-operated at the Institute of Surgery (9.5%) because of pancreatic head carcinoma. The frequency of insulin-dependent diabetes was pointed out in patients-- 28% of those who were first diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. Moreover in the same group diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma, we found 17 to have pancreatic carcinoma, and among those there were 12 cases that had diabetes (70.58%).
