A Case Report of Solitary Adrenal Metastasis from Early Stage Endometrial Carcinoma

Abstract

Although Type I endometrial cancers are generally associated with a good prognosis, specific histopathological features portend worse outcomes. Compared to type II tumours which have increased metastatic potential, this phenomenon is seldom seen in type I counter parts at presentation. Moreover, adrenal metastatic sites are rarer still with only one case report describing this pattern of dissemination to date. To our knowledge this is the first case report of an isolated adrenal metastasis from early stage type I endometrial cancer and highlights the heterogeneity which exists in this disease.
