description | A case of rare endometrial carcinosarcoma with locoregional spread and sigmoid fistula presenting for the very first time at a hospital emergency department (ED). A 56-year-old female presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and pancytopenia, which was diagnosed as advanced gynaecological cancer following assessment, imaging, and tissue biopsy. Increased pressure on the ED owing to coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic may cause the first presentation of gynae-oncology cases to ED physician. A full return of all primary care services may reduce such pressure, improve early detection of gynaecological malignancies, allow early multidisciplinary team care, and result in better patient experience in the long run. |
