Zusammenfassung: | Introduction
Endometrial carcinoma is the fourth most common carcinoma in females worldwide. Due to early symptoms, these are diagnosed at an early stage and thus have a good prognosis. Recurrences usually occur to the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes, vagina, peritoneum, and lungs. They occur rarely in the bones, brain, intra-abdominal organs, abdominal wall, and muscle.
