PERİMENOPOZAL ANORMAL UTERİN KANAMA OLAN BİR HASTADA TESPİT EDİLEN PRİMER ODAĞI BELİRLENEMEYEN MÜSİNÖZ ADENOKARSİNOM OLGUSU
Abstract
Primer odağı belirlenemeyen kanserler (POBK), iyi tanımlanmış
olmasına karşın, onkoloji pratiğinde gerek tanı, gerek tedavi açısından
sorunlu bir konudur. Bu tip kanserlerin %80’i adenokanserlerden
oluflmakta ve söz konusu tanıyı koyabilmek için kapsamlı klinik, patolojik
ve laboratuar değerlendirmeler gerekmektedir. Bu yazıda perimenopozal
dönemde anormal uterin kanama ile baflvuran bir hastada,
primer odağı apendiks olarak düflünülen ancak tümör odağının kesin
olarak saptanamadığı bir müsinöz adenokarsinom olgusu sunulmaktadır

Abstract
Although the concept of “cancer of unknown origin” is welldescribed,
the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these tumors
are problematic. Adenocarcinomas comprise 80%of cancers of
unknown origin. A thorough clinical, pathologic and laboratory evaluation
is mandatory to make a correct diagnosis in these cases. In this
report, we describe a woman presenting with perimenopausal abnormal
uterine bleeding, which was consequently diagnosed as a mucinous
adenocarcinoma of unknown origin, likely originating from the
vermiform appendix.
