A 73-year-old female patient with no relevant past medical history presented with post-menopausal vaginal bleeding. The patient underwent a hysteroscopy with endometrial biopsy revealing a poorly differentiated endometrial serous carcinoma. MRI staging depicted para-aortic lymph nodes and peritoneal metastases in the left upper quadrant. There were no signs of invasion of the outer half of the myometrium. Two polypoid lesions were identified in the posterior wall of the bladder and a confirmatory cystoscopy was recommended. Those lesions were later confirmed to be metastases of endometrial origin. Non-contiguous metastases to mucosal urinary bladder from endometrial carcinoma can occur and, as depicted in our case, can be well identified with magnetic resonance imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
