This review aims to examine the prevalence of cutaneous metastasis, the diagnosis and treatment options, and the impact of cutaneous metastasis of endometrial cancer on overall survival. We also present a particular case with a long-term overall survival. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on PubMed and PubMed Central using the following keywords: endometrial carcinoma metastasis, cutaneous metastasis, and five-year overall survival. Results: We identified 326 results and checked their titles for eligibility. There were eight studies included. We also presented a case of a 51-year-old woman with cutaneous metastasis and a large soft tissue metastasis with a prolonged overall survival of about 13 years after the appearance of the first cutaneous metastasis. Conclusions: This paper highlights the importance of skin evaluations in patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Healthcare providers must consider the possibility of cutaneous metastasis localization in patients with endometrial cancer to assign the correct stage and apply the appropriate treatment to increase long-term survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13152603","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,5]],"date-time":"2023-08-05T10:21:39Z","timestamp":1691230899000},"page":"2603","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Cutaneous Metastasis of Endometrial Cancer and Long-Term Survival: A Scoping Review and Our Experience"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Nienhaus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral School, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, EftimieMurgu Square, No. 2, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology \u2018Augusta Krankenanstalt\u2019 Bochum, Bergstr. 26, 44807 Bochum, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahavie","family":"Rajakulendran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology \u2018Augusta Krankenanstalt\u2019 Bochum, Bergstr. 26, 44807 Bochum, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1084-2714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Bernad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, \u201cPius Brinzeu\u201d County Clinical Emergency Hospital, 300723 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Center for Laparoscopy, Laparoscopic Surgery and In Vitro Fertilization, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ygyno.2018.05.015","article-title":"Endometrial cancer: Molecular markers and management of advanced stage disease","volume":"150","author":"Arend","year":"2018","journal-title":"Gynecol.
