| Abstract |
|
Although extrapelvic tumors
have been considered to rarely metastasize to the uterus; primary breast carcinoma is the most common type involved. In March; 1995; a 46-year-old woman presented with hypermenorrhea. The pelvic examination showed that the uterus was about the size of 16 weeks gestation; symmetrically enlarged; nontender; and without adnexal pathology. Total abdominal hysterectomy revealed an infiltrating lobular carcinoma metastasized from primary breast carcinoma. We treated the patient by bilateral modified radical mastectomy; followed by chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. However; bone metastasis developed in 3 years after the operation; and she died of widespread metastasis in November; 2000. In this paper; we reviewed the incidence of extrapelvic malignancies metastasized to the uterus. |
