Abstract

The authors report a case of gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed by endometrial random biopsy in a cancer of unknown primary site patient. Even if there are no vaginal bleeding episodes, endometrial hyperplastic lesions can be a diagnostic clue to find the extrapelvic metastasis to endometrium.


Keywords
