Summary. Thirty-nine women with endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary were studied for factors relating to their presentation, treatment and survival. Nine of the women (23%) had a concomitant adenocarcinoma of the endometrium at the time of presentation. There were no significant differences in age at presentation or menopausal status between the two groups. The actuarial 5-year survival for women with endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary alone was 43%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 24% to 62% (stage 180%, CI45% to 100%, stage II62%, CI27% to 97%, and stage III 21%, CI 0% to 42%). The 5-year survival for women with concomitant endometrial tumours was 62.5% (CI 28.5% to 96.5%). The difference in the overall survival rate between the two groups was not significant.
