Abstract

Endometrial carcinoma is the most prevalent malignancy of the genital tract. With early diagnosis and treatment, its prognosis is more favorable than other gynecological malignancies. The objective of this case study is to present a very rare condition of a drain site metastasis following the treatment of a low stage endometrial carcinoma. A 63 year old woman was operated for endometrial carcinoma (histological subtype: Endometrioid) FIGO Stage IC (Grade I) and treated with the brachytherapy protocol, postoperatively. During the routine postoperative follow-up exams every three months, she presented with a mass in the right lower abdominal quadrant located at the drain site in the 15th postoperative month. Biopsy sampling of this mass revealed metastatic endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy and eventually surgery was planned forthe resection of the regressed mass. Similar metastatic lesions in gynecological cancers are mostly restricted to high stage ovarian and peritoneal malignancy conditions, and are usually located at trochar port sites and paracentesis puncture points. Nevertheless, this case shows that other early stage malignancies may as well metastasize in a similar fashion and should not be overlooked in the follow-up examinations.

Özet

Endometriyum kanseri en sık görülen genital sistem kanseridir. Prognozu, erken tanı ve tedavi ile diğer jinekolojik malignitelere oranla daha iyidir. Yazımızda, erken evre endometriyum kanserinde (Evre IC) cerrahi ve radyoterapi sonrası dren yerinde metastaz gelişen bir olgu sunuldu. 63 yaşında, endometriyum kanseri (endometrioid adenokarsinom) nedeniyle opere edilen ve cerrahi evresi FIGO Evre IC (Grade I) olan hasta postoperatif dönemde brakiterapi programına alındı. Tedavi bitiminden sonra rutin 3 aylık kontrollere gelen hasta 15. ayda sağ alt kadranda dren giriş yerinin lokalizasyonunda kitle şikayeti ile başvurdu. Buradan yayılan biyopsinin histopatolojisi metastatik endometrioid adenokarsinom olarak sonuçlandı. Hastaya radyoterapi, takiben kemoterapi programı uygulandı. Kemoterapi sonrası cerrahi rezeksiyon planlandı. Jinekolojik kanserlerde bu tür metastazlar sıklıkla ileri evre over ve periton kanserlerinde özellikle trokar veya parasentez giriş yerlerinde gözlenmektedir. Ancak sunduğumuz bu olgu, bu tür metastazların erken evre diğer malignitelerde dahi görülebileceği ve hastanın rutin kontrollerinde bunlara dikkat etmemiz gerektiğini göstermektedir.
