Abstract:
Endometrial cancer is one of the prevalent malignancies of the female reproductive system, with most cases presenting as low-grade tumors, especially if it is diagnosed during the early stages. As such, detection typically results in a good prognosis with the disease generally confined to the uterus. Unfortunately, recurrence and metastasis can still occur in a subset of patients who do not have proper medical follow-up or refuse to follow up, and when metastasis does occur, prognosis tends to be poor. Here, we would like to present a very severe case of endometrial cancer that has diffusely metastasized to the lungs. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance of medical check-ups, screening, and management in patients, especially with post-menopausal bleeding.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
