Abstract

Port-site metastases after gynecologic oncology procedures have a reported incidence of 1-2% and in the 95% of cases had simultaneous carcinomatosis or metastases to other sites at the time of port-site metastasis detection suggesting that the presence of port site implantation is a surrogate for advanced disease. At the moment, only poor cases of isolated port-site metastasis after endometrial cancer have been reported in literature, we reported one of this cases.
