%X While the majority of colonic malignancies represent primarytumors, secondary tumors are not uncommon. We present a case ofendometrial cancer metastatic to the colon masquerading as a primarycolonic adenocarcinoma. The clinical and pathologic characteristicsof each disease are discussed. To our knowledge, this is the firstreported case of endometrial cancer metastasis to the colon in theabsence of endometriosis. It demonstrates the importance of usingimmunohistochemistry to distinguish morphologically similar tumorsin a patient who seemingly presents with more than one primarymalignancy.
