Abstract

Endometrial cancer is the most frequent malignancy of the female reproductive system, while cutaneous metastasis is extremely rare in endometrial cancer. The authors herein report a case ofendometrial adenocarcinoma (FIGO Stage IIIC2, Grade 2) with metastasis to the skin of right lower leg and vaginal orifice. The patient was treated with local excision and combination chemotherapy, but she did not respond to therapy and died within 11 months. The authors reviewed the clinico-pathologic features, treatment, and prognosis of such case with cutaneous metastasis.
