Metastatic endometrial cancer of the paranasal sinuses

Abstract: Endometrial carcinoma is the fourth most common cancer affecting women in the UK. Its most frequent sites of spread are to the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes, vagina and peritoneum. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman with known endometrial cancer who presented with left facial swelling and eye displacement. Investigations revealed an expansile soft-tissue density mass arising within the bone, centred on the left zygoma, with exophytic extension into the left maxillary antrum, infratemporal fossa and i… Show more

“…There are limited reports of endometrial carcinoma metastases to the structures of the orbit and sinuses, including to the ethmoid sinus presenting as a mucocele, 1 to the orbit presenting as a rapidly enlarging cystic mass 2 and as orbital apex syndrome, 3 and to the maxillary sinus presenting with globe displacement. 4 A case of metastasis to the choroid presenting with rapid vision loss also has been reported. 5 Despite the acute presentation raising suspicion among nonophthalmologists for dacryocystitis, the absence of epiphora and discharge and the history of metastatic cancer quickly prompted urgent biopsy.…”

“…У досліджені було поставлено завдання удосконалити спосіб комбінованого лікування хворих, в якому аналіз рівнів МБМ (VEGF, Bcl-2, Ki-67, ЕR, РR) та їх бальна оцінка дають змогу визначити групи підвищеного ризику розвитку рецидивів і метастазів та індивідуалізувати вибір схеми ад'ювантної терапії [8][9][10][11][12].…”
