Isolated diaphragmatic metastasis originating from early endometrial cancer
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery(2020)
摘要
Metastatic diaphragm tumors are rare. We herein describe an extremely rare case of isolated diaphragmatic metastasis from an endometrial cancer. A 47-year-old asymptomatic woman, who had previously undergone surgical resection for stage IA endometrial cancer with high uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose, presented with a diaphragmatic tumor. The resected diaphragmatic specimen revealed adenocarcinoma within the diaphragm, which was similar to the previous endometrial cancer. The tumor was eventually diagnosed as a diaphragmatic metastasis from endometrioid adenocarcinoma of uterus. Diaphragmatic metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with previous malignancies that show high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake, even in early-stage primary tumors.
