  • Title: [Uterine metastases of extragenital carcinomas].
    Author: di Bonito L, Patriarca S, Stanta G, Delendi M.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1985 Jan; 80(1):21-4. PubMed ID: 4059763.
    Abstract:
    Metastasis to the uterus from distant primary neoplasms are rare: this report is an analysis of 20 cases. The primary tumors arose in the breast (12 cases), pancreas (3 cases), stomach (2 cases), lung (2 cases) and gallbladder (1 case). The corpus uteri (and namely the myometrium) is more often involved than cervix. The mean age of the patients is 71 years (range 42-84). Metastases caused abnormal uterine bleeding in only 2 cases; in the others cases no symptoms were observed and so they were unexpected autopsy findings.
