Early skin metastasis of endometrial adenocarcinoma: case report and review of the literature

Cutis. 1993 Aug;52(2):109-11.

Abstract

A seventy-seven-year-old patient presented with skin metastasis from endometrial adenocarcinoma in a laparotomy scar, seven months after surgery. On reviewing current literature, it was clear that this was an unusual site for metastasis. We review the possible pathologic mechanism of this recurrence, its prognosis, and treatment.
