Özet

We present a patient with surgical stage I endometrial cancer who experienced laparotomy wound recurrence 4 years after primary treatment. She was treated successfully by complete surgical resection of recurrent tumors and chemotherapy. A 62-year-old white female with laparotomy wound recurrence of endometrial carcinoma with small-bowel involvement and concomitant subcutaneous metastasis in the abdominal wall underwent complete surgical resection of metastatic tumors followed by six cycles of chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (area under the curve 5). Since 24 months after resection of recurrence, she has no evidence of disease recurrence. Endometrial carcinoma with laparotomy wound recurrences, especially those with concomitant metastases, can be successfully treated by complete surgical resection followed by chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and carboplatin. © 2005 IGCS.
