Rare Distal Metastasis of Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Impersonating as Primary Colon Cancer

An 89-year-old Caucasian female with a recent diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma status post hysterectomy and acute deep vein thrombosis on anticoagulation presented with hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed sigmoid colon stricture with the biopsy findings of metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma...

description An 89-year-old Caucasian female with a recent diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma status post hysterectomy and acute deep vein thrombosis on anticoagulation presented with hematochezia. Colonoscopy revealed sigmoid colon stricture with the biopsy findings of metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma based on positive immunohistochemistry staining for cytokeratin 7, paired box gene 8, and estrogen receptor. The oncologist referral was given to the patient for consideration of chemotherapy, but she decided to go with palliative care. Thus far, only 2 similar cases have been published in the literature. Our case exemplifies the potential for an unconventional pattern of metastasis of primary endometrial adenocarcinoma to the colon.
