CT

• CT has a role in assessing for distant metastases.

• Although not generally used for initial diagnosis or local staging, endometrial carcinoma may be encountered on CT:

• noncontrast CT: difficult to differentiate from normal uterus (especially in local disease)
• postcontrast CT: may show diffuse thickening or mass within endometrial cavity
