Abstract
- We report a case of a 59-year-old woman with right ventricular metastasis of undifferentiated endometrial cancer. Cardiac metastasis from endometrial cancer is a very rare finding. The case demonstrates that undifferentiated endometrial cancer is capable of metastasizing, presumably through a hematogenous route, to unexpected distant organs. These unexpected sites should not be undermined in the restaging and surveillance of these patients.
