Extra Isolated Port-Site Metastases after Laparoscopic Surgery of Endometrial Cancer: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 4

Abstract

Endometrial cancer has lately been increasingly treated by laparoscopic surgery. Although there’s been a good technique to treat patients with endometrial cancer, port-site metastasis (PSM) is a possible complication. In our article, we will present a case of a 65-year-old female diagnosed with single PSM following laparoscopic surgery for stage II grade II endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). The patient developed a recurrence within 12 months following the first surgery. A surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemo‑ radio therapy was realized. After 09 months, the patient remained disease‑ free. In the literature, outcomes of patients with (PSM) were rarely described and there are no obvious risk factors for development of port-site metastasis or easily identifiable prevention. The purpose of this study is to bring a better knowledge of this mysterious complication.
