ABSTRACT
Bone metastasis and muscular involvement in endometrial carcinoma are rare, and information on molecular profiles of endometrial carcinoma with bone metastasis is scarce. We present a case of an 83-year old woman with a poorly differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma of no-specific-molecular-profile with para-aortic lymph node involvement, who underwent surgery, received adjuvant chemotherapy and vaginal brachytherapy but declined external beam radiotherapy. Fifteen months after the initial diagnosis she presented with pain in her right leg. Imaging showed an osteolytic lesion in the right femur with soft-tissue involvement. She underwent an open biopsy and protective osteosynthesis. Histologically, infiltrates of both bone and muscle were consistent with metastasis derived from endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. She received concomitant palliative chemotherapy and external beam radiotherapy to the right femur. Eleven months later, she presented with an acute hemiparesis caused by a right-sided subacute, superior frontal gyrus infarct, which also showed aggressive bone metastasis of the left sphenoid bone. She subsequently died 2 weeks later. This is a rare case of multiple bone metastases and muscle involvement in endometrial carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported such case in endometrial carcinoma showing no-specific-molecular-profile.
