| Summary: | Metastases to the female genital tract from extra-genital primary cancers are uncommon and usually occur during widespread metastatic disease. Breast cancers are the most frequent primaries, predominantly the lobular type. Here, we report a case of a 55-year-old woman with breast cancer endometrial metastasis who presented with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. We highlight the importance of endometrial sampling to confirm the diagnosis and distinguish primary from metastatic cancer of the endometrium since the treatment and prognosis of these conditions are entirely different. |
