Granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor ( G ‐ CSF )‐producing nonhematopoietic malignancies have been reported in various organs, and most of them have been associated with poor clinical outcome. However, because of the rarity of reported cases, information regarding G ‐ CSF ‐producing gynecological malignancies, especially uterine corpus cancer, is limited. We report a case of G ‐ CSF ‐producing endometrial cancer, which exhibited a grave clinical outcome. Our case strongly indicates the aggressive nature of G ‐ CSF ‐producing endometrial cancer.
