Histopathology report after hysterectomy
Case Discussion
A case of endometrial carcinoma staging demonstrated on pelvic MRI and CT in a post-menopausal woman with vaginal bleeding initially discovered on ultrasound examination and confirmed histologically by curettage.
The patient underwent a CT chest and abdomen for staging and finally, hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and external iliac lymph node dissection. The final result is:
Figo staging: IA
TNM staging: T1a N0 M0
