Malignant Bowel Obstruction Due to Intraluminal Metastasis of Endometrial Adenocarcinoma Located in the Sigmoid Colon After Nine Years of Follow-Up.

Endometrial adenocarcinoma is currently the most common malignant tumor of the female genital tract. In the early stages, surgical or radiotherapy treatment offers high survival rates and excellent prognosis, although late recurrences have been described. Recurrences of endometrial adenocarcinoma are more frequent in the vaginal vault; however, implants are sometimes detected in the serosa of the colon and rectum, resulting in extrinsic compression. Here, we present the case of a 77-year-old patient with a clinical history of hysterectomy, lymphadenectomy, and double adnexectomy for endometrial adenocarcinoma (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Ia). Nine years after the initial treatment, she presented an endoluminal recurrence in the sigmoid colon, which is exceptional. The patient underwent surgery by performing an oncological sigmoidectomy. The immunohistochemical study revealed the tumor origin as metastasis of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The patient had a favorable postoperative period, subsequently receiving adjuvant therapy and being disease-free after 18 months of follow-up.
