In 1978, Barua et al. described the first case of XGE without evidence of endometrial carcinoma or hyperplasia. Two years later, Buckley and Fox described two cases and labeled them as “histiocytic endometritis” . In 1983, Ashkenazy et al. described four cases with endometrial foamy cells. Two of their cases were presented with endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma and the other two isolated XGE cases revealed hemosiderin in foamy cells . In 1985, Pounder and Iyer reported a case of XGE associated with endometrial adenocarcinoma . The foamy cells of their case contained brown pigment that supposed to be lipofuscin or hemosiderin . In 1989, Blanco et al. reported a case of XGE and the foamy cells were described to be macrophages, components of a nonspecific inflammatory reaction, which have phagocytosed breakdown elements of retained endometrial hemorrhage . In 1990, Russack and Lammers reported six XGE cases associated with endometrial carcinoma . The pathogenesis of their cases was supposed to be associated with radiation therapy for endometrial carcinoma . Recently, Noack et al. reported a case of XGE with lethal outcome .
