Abstract
Gastric-type carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare endometrial cancer histotype, recently introduced in the 2020 WHO classification of the female genital tract tumors. Clinico-pathological features, as well as treatment strategies for this rare histotype, are not fully defined. We herein present an unusual case of endometrial carcinoma with mucinous features arising in a 58-year-old menopausal woman. Morphological features of the present case as well as immunohistochemical profile were consistent with gastrointestinal differentiation. Therefore, after clinical and imaging studies ruled out the possibility of a metastatic origin, a final diagnosis of gastric-type carcinoma of the endometrium was rendered.
