title: Abdominal wall port site metastasis after robotically staged endometrial carcinoma: A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The incidence of port-site metastasis following robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy is unknown.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a case of a 78-year-old female diagnosed with an incidental grade 3 endometrial adenocarcinoma on a final hysterectomy specimen. She subsequently underwent a robotic staging surgery with a gynecologic oncologist where nodal pathology was found to be negative; her final stage was 1B. One year following diagnosis, she developed a recurrence on her abdominal wall at the former port-sites with concomitant vaginal cuff recurrence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We hypothesize possible modes of metastasis and present limited published data to date on port site metastasis following robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This is the second reported case of port-site metastasis following robotic surgery for endometrial cancer.
