  • Title: Recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma presenting as a solitary humeral metastasis.
    Author: Schöls WA, Kock HC, van Etten FH.
    Journal: Gynecol Oncol; 1995 Oct; 59(1):148-50. PubMed ID: 7557601.
    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old woman was admitted because of postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Diagnostic workup revealed a poorly differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was carried out (FIGO stage Ia, G3). One and a half years later she developed a solitary humeral metastasis which was treated by local radiotherapy and progesterone acetate. Because osseous metastases in endometrial adenocarcinoma are rare, the literature is reviewed. In analogy to the treatment of pulmonary metastases the option of disarticulation of the patient's arm is discussed.
