Overview

Pelvic postcontrast CT scan may show diffuse thickening or mass within endometrial cavity in endometrial cancer.

CT

• CT has a role in assessing for distant metastases.
• Although not generally used for initial diagnosis or local staging, endometrial carcinoma may be seen 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
