Abstract

Among gynecological malignancies, Endometrial cancer stands out as the most prevalent form of carcinoma. However, Adenocarcinoma is the most frequent histological type of Endometrial cancer. Endometrial metastases are generally confined to pelvis, and distant metastases are seen primarily in the lymph nodes, lungs, or liver. bone Endometrial metastases are detected from 2% to 6% at diagnosis. Bones metastasis are generally restricted to the pelvis, vertebrae, and femur. Other locations such as the peripheral skeletal, chest wall, cranium and bone recurrence later after initial treatment are very unusual. In cases of bone recurrence, adenocarcinoma is the most seen. CT and PET/CT scan are the most useful diagnostic modality for the detection of a bone metastasis. Here, we report a chest wall bone late recurrence of an endometrial adenocarcinoma.
