Appendiceal metastasis 10 years following 'curative' resection for low-grade primary endometrial carcinoma

Abstract

Metastasis of primary endometrial adenocarcinoma to unusual sites has been occasionally reported. However, the authors believe this to be the fi rst case report of metastasis to the appendix. This occurred more than 10 years after curative resection, and presented as sepsis with an intra-abdominal focus. © 2012 BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved.
