Solitary Abdominal Wall Metastasis of Endometrial Carcinoma: A Rare Case.

Prof. Shilpa A. Rao, Dr. Aditya R. Kunte, Dr. Sumit Mandal

Abstract :

A 60–year–old lady, who had undergone an abdominal hysterectomy 3 years ago for menorrhagia; and was incidentally diagnosed to have an adenocarcinoma of the endometrium on surgical pathology; presented with a slowly growing right lower quadrant abdominal wall lump since 7 months. An FNAC showed the lump to be a metastasis from a high grade papillary adenocarcinoma. A metastatectomy was performed with abdominal wall reconstruction by placement of an intraperitoneal composite mesh. This report is to ing to light a rare presentation of metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, possibly from seeding of the scar site of the abdominal hysterectomy
