Abstract :
Metastasis to female genital tract are most commonly seen in the ovaries and it is very rare for uterus to have metastasis from extragenital organs. Metastatic carcinoma in an endometrial polyp is exceptional and presented as case reports in the literature. The presented case was a 52 year old woman, having metastatic breast carcinoma of invasive ductal type. She admitted to the gynecology department, with the complaint of postmenapausal bleeding. The pathological examination revealed a hyperplastic endometrial polyp, having a focus of epiteloid cellular infiltration in the stroma. The immunohistochemical staining showed these cells to be CD 10 negative, Pancytkeratin and GCDFP-15 positive. Pathological diagnosis was hyperplastic polyp, with focal carcinoma infiltration (compatible with breast carcinoma). The curettage specimens of the patients being followed for breast carcinoma is frequently seen in the daily routine of the pathology. The probability of metastatic disease must be kept in mind and the whole curretage materials must be evaluated. The pathological examination must be carefully made for the exclusion of a metastatic carcinoma.
