Abstract:
We present a case of a 70 years old woman, with a very atypical presentation of endometrial cancer, she presented with dyspnea, and no abnormal genital bleeding. During CT scan and VATS, we could not find any signs of pleural or lung metastatic disease, but we found malignant cells in the pleural fluid, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cytologic malignant cells confirmation without pleural carcinosis in a patient with endometrial carcinoma clinical stage IVB, with peritoneal carcinomatosis concurrent with malignant ascites confirmation too.
