Abstract
In clinical practice, we often come across cases where endometrial carcinoma has been detected postoperatively on a hysterectomy specimen. These cases where only hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy have been done, especially those with high-risk intrauterine features are incompletely staged and require appropriate management.
