Metastases to the female genital tract are rare, especially from extragenital primaries. The most common extragenital sites associated with genital metastasis are the gastrointestinal tract (37.6%) followed by the breast (34.9%). It is crucial to differentiate primary from metastatic involvement of the uterus for appropriate patient management. We present one such case of endometrial metastasis in a patient who presented clinically with abnormal uterine bleeding and was diagnosed with primary breast cancer via F-FDG PET/CT.
女性生殖道转移较为罕见,尤其是来自生殖道外原发灶的转移。最常见的与生殖道转移相关的生殖道外部位是胃肠道(37.6%),其次是乳腺(34.9%)。区分原发性和转移性子宫受累对于患者的适当管理至关重要。我们报告了这样一个病例,一名患者以异常子宫出血为临床表现,经 F-FDG PET/CT 诊断为原发性乳腺癌,随后被诊断为子宫内膜转移。
