title: Endometrial metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma: a case report.
abstract: Embolic metastases to the endometrium are unusual, especially from extragenital cancers. Metastases in the uterine corpus are generally detected at autopsy. We describe a patient with abnormal vaginal bleeding in whom endometrial metastases from an inoperable gastric tumor were discovered in hysteroscopic biopsy specimens.
