Abstract:
Background: Endometrial metastasis from breast cancer is a rare and often under-recognized clinical entity. While metastatic disease from breast carcinoma commonly involves the lungs, liver, and bones, involvement of the endometrium remains an infrequent occurrence. Clinical Presentation: This case report presents an unusual case of endometrial metastasis originating from invasive carcinoma of the breast and discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such metastasis.Discussion: Endometrial metastasis from breast cancer is extremely rare, with only a few documented cases in the literature. The diagnosis often presents challenges due to nonspecific clinical symptoms such as abnormal bleeding. In this case, the diagnosis was made by histopathological evaluation, emphasizing the importance of considering endometrial metastasis in the differential diagnosis for patients with a history of breast cancer presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. Conclusion: Endometrial metastasis from breast cancer, although rare, should be considered in patients with a history of breast cancer presenting with unusual gynecological symptoms. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
