Abstrakt: The most common presenting feature of endometrial carcinoma (EC) is abnormal uterine bleeding. Bone metastasis, as a presenting feature of EC, is very unusual which is usually restricted to pelvis and vertebrae. The occurrence of foot metastasis is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a postmenopausal female presented with pain and swelling involving right foot. Biopsy revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma. The patient denied any history of vaginal bleeding or other gynecological symptoms. Bone scan suggested increased uptake in multiple tarsal bones. Uterine curettage confirmed the diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma. The patient was successfully treated with debulking surgery, palliative radiotherapy to the right foot, bisphosphonates, and systemic chemotherapy with marked improvement in local symptoms and is under follow-up for the last 6 months after completion of the treatment. An extensive review of the literature, to the best of our knowledge, did not reveal many cases of acrometastasis as a presenting feature of EC.
