Isolated calcaneal metastasis in a patient with endometrial adenocarcinoma

Cancer. 1991 Apr 1;67(7):1979-83. doi: 10.1002/1097-0142(19910401)67:7<1979::aid-cncr2820670726>3.0.co;2-6.

Abstract

A 55-year-old woman with a history of Stage IA endometrial adenocarcinoma, previously treated with surgery and intracavitary radiation therapy, had an isolated calcaneal metastasis. Normal radiographs led to a delay in the diagnosis of her relapse. An ankle computed tomographic scan finally identified a mass, and the surgical biopsy specimen confirmed the diagnosis. This is the first reported case of an isolated calcaneal metastasis in endometrial adenocarcinoma to the authors' knowledge.
