This report documents a rare case of complete spontaneous regression of clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium. An elderly woman with paranoid schizophrenia was admitted to the hospital because of vaginal bleeding. Diagnostic curetting and biopsy were performed and she was diagnosed with clear cell carcinoma of endometrium. Anti-tumour therapy was not possible because of her poor psychiatric status. 13 months later the woman died of a natural cause and at autopsy the endometrial tumour could no longer be identified. Myocardial infarction, aggravated by poor functional status of organism due to sepsis, was concluded to be the cause of death.
