Summary
Metastasis of endometrial carcinosarcoma to the tibia is rare. Local radiotherapy effectively resolved leg pain, improving quality of life, though intraabdominal disease ultimately progressed.
Area of Science:
- Gynecologic Oncology
- Bone Metastasis
- Radiation Oncology
Background:
- Endometrial carcinoma rarely metastasizes to lower-extremity bone.
- This case highlights an unusual presentation of endometrial carcinosarcoma.
Observation:
- A 64-year-old woman presented with isolated right tibial metastasis and leg pain.
- Initial diagnosis revealed primary endometrial carcinosarcoma.
Findings:
- Local radiotherapy led to complete resolution of tibial metastasis symptoms.
- The patient experienced a temporary improvement in quality of life.
Implications:
- Tibial metastasis can be a presenting symptom of endometrial malignant tumors.
- Radiotherapy may effectively manage symptomatic tibial metastasis and improve patient quality of life.
