Endometrial carcinoma presenting with ascites.

M Morris, J Noumoff, E M Beckman

    Gynecologic Oncology
    |June 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Endometrial cancer can present atypically with ascites, mimicking ovarian cancer, especially in elderly patients. Early detection is crucial as these cancers may be non-invasive but spread via fallopian tubes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Endometrial carcinoma typically presents with vaginal bleeding.
    • Ascites in elderly women often suggests advanced ovarian cancer.

    Observation:

    • Three elderly patients presented with ascites and omental tumor, but normal ovaries.
    • Preoperative diagnosis was ovarian cancer.
    • Endometrial cancers were non-invasive and projected into the uterine cavity.

    Findings:

    • Endometrial carcinoma can present as ascites without vaginal bleeding.
    • Omental metastasis occurred despite non-invasive myometrial tumor.
    • Fallopian tubes are a likely route for peritoneal spread.

    Implications:

    • Consider endometrial cancer in the differential diagnosis of ascites in elderly women.
    • Ovarian cancer misdiagnosis can occur with atypical endometrial presentations.
    • Further investigation into tubal spread mechanisms is warranted.
