Retroperitoneal squamous cell carcinoma: metastasis from uterine endometrial carcinoma?
A case of a retroperitoneal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a 61-year-old woman is reported. Imaging studies demonstrated a well-defined solid and cystic mass with suggested inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion. She had had a history of uterine endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EAC) with squamous differentiation (Grade 1) five years previously. Based on the pathological findings, this retroperitoneal neoplasm was thought to be a metastasis from the uterine EAC.
