Look at This Swelling: Retroauricular Mass as Atypical Progression in Long-Survivor Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma

Endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most common histology in gynecological malignancies. Most women present loco-regional relapsing or peritoneal and liver involvement within three years from diagnosis. However long-survivor patients may be affected by atypical disease evolutions. Here we...

Sumario:Endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most common histology in gynecological malignancies. Most women present loco-regional relapsing or peritoneal and liver involvement within three years from diagnosis. However long-survivor patients may be affected by atypical disease evolutions. Here we describe an extremely rare case of retroauricular metastasis in a patient affected by endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, who had a total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy six years earlier and subsequent salvage surgery three years later for loco-regional relapsed disease.
