Primary carcinoma of the cecum with uterine metastases.
We report an unusual case of a poorly differentiated signet ring cell type of adenocarcinoma of the cecum, rare in its own right, that had metastasized to the endometrium. The diagnosis was made on the basis of fractional uterine curettage. It is believed that this is the first case of such an unusual cecal carcinoma metastatic to the endometrium.
