Resumen
MENDOZA, Jairo Enrique et al. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to atypical presentation of metastatic endometrial adenocarcinoma in the stomach. Diagnostic typing with endoscopic resources. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2021, vol.36, suppl.1, pp.42-46. Epub 21-Feb-2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.520.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy in women. Its metastatic presentation is mainly limited to neighboring organs and nearby lymph nodes, and infiltration of the upper digestive tract is uncommon. This case report depicts a patient admitted to the emergency department with upper gastrointestinal bleeding symptoms. Initially, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the gastric wall was suspected, but endometrial cancer metastasis was discovered after a thorough medical examination, diagnostic imaging, and echoendoscopes.
