  • 1. Chung-Ang University Hospital, Chung-Ang University College of Medicine, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Metastasis to the uterus is thought to be a very rare condition, and few imaging findings have been reported in the English literature. Here, we describe a case of endometrial metastasis from colon cancer, which was depicted using gray-scale and Doppler ultrasonography, CT and positron emission tomography-CT, to be a smoothly lobulated heterogeneous, predominantly endometrial mass in the uterus with increased vascular flow.
