title: [Surgical treatment of an isolated liver metastasis from endometrial cancer].
abstract: One of the principal features of the malignant process is the ability of the tumor to form metastases. In case of endometrial cancer pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes and ovaries are the most frequent sites of metastases. In some cases metastases to the distant sites like the lungs and liver occur. The diagnosis of stage IVB disease bears a poor prognosis. Only a form of palliative treatment is usually offered to those unfortunate woman. The authors present a case of successful surgical treatment an isolated liver metastasis from endometrial cancer.
