Uterine metastasis from stomach cancer: radiological findings

Clin Radiol. 1990 Oct;42(4):285-6. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(05)82121-x.

Abstract

The uterus is an unusual site for metastasis from an extrapelvic neoplasm. We report a case of uterine metastasis with extensive calcification. Plain radiography, ultrasonography and CT showed diffuse calcification within the uterine wall and T2-weighted MR images showed abnormally high signal intensity of the entire myometrium.
