Sternal metastasis in a case of carcinoma endometrium - Diagnostic dilemma.

Abstract

Abstract :
Carcinoma endometrium rarely presents
with metastasis to bone. We report an
unusual presentation of carcinoma endometrium
with sternal metastasis. It is rare
to have sternal or other bony metastasis
in carcinoma endometrium, which is
more likely to arise from lung or breast
primaries in women. The disease heralds
a bad prognosis as per the available literature.
We conclude that in case of metastasis
from unknown primary site in
women possibility of a gynaecologic malignancy
should also be kept in differential
diagnosis, especially if the usual primary
sites of malignancy have been
ruled out.
