Conventional fluid cytology is a simple and efficient diagnostic modality that plays an imperative role in the workup of serous cavity effusion fluids. Endometrial carcinoma with pleural metastases is quite uncommon, and isolated cases without lung parenchymal involvement are even more uncommon. Herein, we present a case of a 60-year-old female diagnosed with high-grade endometrioid carcinoma with clear cell change, who presented with right-sided pleural effusion, which turned out to be positive for metastatic carcinoma without the involvement of lung parenchyma, making it a rare presentation of endometrial carcinoma metastasis diagnosed on conventional fluid cytology.
传统的液基细胞学检查是一种简单而有效的诊断方法,在浆液性腔隙积液的检查中起着至关重要的作用。子宫内膜癌伴胸膜转移相当罕见,而无肺实质受累的孤立病例更为罕见。在此,我们报告一例60岁女性,诊断为高级别子宫内膜样癌伴透明细胞改变,该患者出现右侧胸腔积液,经检查发现为转移性癌阳性,且未累及肺实质,这使其成为通过传统液基细胞学检查诊断出的罕见的子宫内膜癌转移病例。
