Abstract:
In endometrial cancer, the risk of metastasis to bone seems to be rare. We describe the clinicopathologic features of a rare case of endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma presenting as a metastasis to the ischium in a 37-year-old premenopausal woman. The patient had treated with total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy followed by radiotherapy. Three months later, Pelvic bone metastasis was detected and palliative radiotherapy was performed. After a follow-up of 1 year, she underwent palliative right hindquater amputation and T-colostomy. Postoperative follow-up of the case has no evidence of disease 6 months after operation.
