Axillary lymph node and breast metastasis from early stage endomertrial
adenocarcinoma after a 4-year period: A case report and a retrospective
study
Abstract
Background. Endomertrial adenocarcinoma (EC) with early stage, high
grade is rare seen metastasis. Here, we describe a unique case of
axillary lymph node and breast metastasis from high grade endomertrial
adenocarcinoma after a 4-year period. Cases. We presented a case of a
60-year-old woman with EC and received surgery in 2013. However, a
metastatic tumor appeared at the axillary lymph node and the breast 4
years after surgery. Then she received an operation and 6 cycles
adjuvant chemotherapy. 31 months following, she is alive without
disease. Conclusions. A correct diagnosis should be made by combining
the patient’s past clinical history, morphologic and immunohistochemical
test results. Knowledge of this rare metastatic site will help the
physician make the correct diagnosis.
