Abstract:
Metastasis to the uterus from extrapelvic malignancy is rare. We experienced a patient who underwent a total gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy due to gastric cancer and subsequently suffered from recurrence at the site of the uterine myoma. This is the first known case report of metastatic adenocarcinoma at uterine myoma from gastric cancer in Korea. We report this case with a brief review of literature.
