Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the second most frequent gynaecologic tumour in Spain after breast cancer (1). For the majority of patients, the overall prognosis is positive because the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage. It most commonly spreads through lymphatic propagation and spreading via the bloodstream (commonly found in patients with abdominopelvic recurrences and in metastases from other organs) occurs in some advanced cases. Both local relapse and metastases often arise in the early years after treatment (2). Generally speaking, gastric metastases are infrequent while breast, broncho-pulmonary and melanoma primary tumours are the most common (3).
