Endometrial Adenocarcinoma With Pulmonary Recurrence

Description

We present the case of an 83-year-old woman with a history of grade 1 stage IB endometrial cancer (endometrial adenocarcinoma) (figure 1) involving the lower uterine segment. She underwent robotic hysterectomy with right salpingo-oophorectomy followed by brachytherapy. A year and a half later, she presented with difficulty in breathing. A chest X-ray showed 8 mm nodular density in the right lower lobe. The above finding was confirmed with CT. Given the concern for a malignant lesion, positron emission tomography/CT scan was performed, which revealed two metabolically active lung nodules, measuring 1.2 cm in the right middle lobe and other in the right lower lobe measuring 1.2 cm (figure 2). Video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection of the right lower lobe lung nodule was performed. The frozen section and histopathology revealed papillary adenocarcinoma (figures 3 and 4); nuclear staining was positive for oestrogen receptors and negative for thyroid...
