Wound Seeding Associated with Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial carcinoma with recurrence in the incisional scar: A case report

“…Due to the rarity of incisional scar recurrence from endometrial carcinoma, the mechanism of recurrence, behavior of disease, prognostic factors, suitable treatment, and outcome of patients are not well understood. Two mechanisms (intraperitoneal spread and tumor implantation during surgery) have been suggested by Curtis et al (4) and Kotwal et al (5) in their case reports. Curtis et al (4) reported a 50-year-old patient with advanced endometrial carcinoma who developed incisional scar recurrence 2 years after surgery.…”

Curtis et al (4) reported a 50-year-old patient with advanced endometrial carcinoma who developed incisional scar recurrence 2 years after surgery. This patient had positive peritoneal cytology and this was probably the cause of scar recurrence.…”

Endometrial carcinoma with laparotomy wound recurrence: complete remission following surgery and chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and carboplatin

“…Most endometrial carcinoma recurrences are vaginal or pelvic. Eight cases of abdominal wall wound recurrences of endometrial carcinoma have been reported (1–8) . Only one (8) of these patients had undergone surgical staging, and all eight but one had unfavorable prognostic factors or advanced‐stage disease.…”
