%X The Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant condition usually characterized by germline pathogenic variants in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Despite the guidelines now available, determining the pathogenicity of rare variants remains challenging, as the clinical significance of a genetic variant could be uncertain, but it may represent a disease-associated variation in the aforementioned genes. In this case report we will describe the case of a 47 years-old female affected by endometrial cancer (EC) with an extremely rare germline heterozygous variant in the MSH2 gene (c.562G > T p. (Glu188Ter), exon 3) that is likely pathogenic, and a family history consistent with LS.
