Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The incidence of port-site metastasis following robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy is unknown.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: 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.
DISCUSSION: We hypothesize possible modes of metastasis and present limited published data to date on port site metastasis following robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer.
CONCLUSION: This is the second reported case of port-site metastasis following robotic surgery for endometrial cancer.
