Serous endometrial carcinoma with cardiac metastasis (a case report)

Cardiac metastasis from endometrial cancer is a very rare finding. The article presents a case of death, demonstrating the aggressive clinical course of endometrial serous carcinoma. In this clinical example the disease was accompanied by generalized metastasizing through a lymphogenous route to unexpected distant organs (peribronchial lymph nodes, pleura, pericardium).
