Clinically, the distal phalanx lesion was suspicious for a subungual melanoma; however, advanced imaging suggested metastatic disease, with lesions in the acetabulum, lungs, brain, vulva, and vagina. Conclusion: Partial amputation of the right, small finger and vulvar biopsies confirmed an endometrial carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of endometrial adenocarcinoma metastasis to the phalanx of an upper extremity, mimicking a subungual melanoma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph192114494","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,8]],"date-time":"2022-11-08T11:56:36Z","timestamp":1667908596000},"page":"14494","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Metastatic Endometrioid Carcinoma Mimicking a Subungual Melanoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jena C.","family":"Glavy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGYN, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command, San Diego, CA 92134, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1219-336X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shian L.","family":"Peterson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command, San Diego, CA 92134, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"Strain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command, San Diego, CA 92134, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Byrd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of OBGYN, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command, San Diego, CA 92134, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James H.","family":"Flint","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command, San Diego, CA 92134, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, July 15).
