description Enterouterine fistula is a rare complication of endometrial carcinoma, typically associated with a clinical presentation of malodorous vaginal discharge. We present a case of occult metastatic endometrial cancer with an initial presentation of embolic stroke, further complicated by an incidental finding of enterouterine fistula on imaging. This case uniquely describes a patient with no symptoms suggestive of uterine malignancy or enterouterine fistula, highlighting a rare presentation of this occult malignancy and further emphasizing the importance of preventative screening.
