Abstract

Clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium is an uncommon histological subtype and isolated metastasis to bone is rare. The authors present a case of a 61-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic staging surgery for clear cell carcinoma of uterine endometrium (FIGO Stage IB) and early recurrence with isolated fibular bone metastasis three months later. With salvage radiotherapy (RT), she remains disease-free after 46 months. Curative-intended treatment with RT is possible as in this case.
