    El acretismo placentario se define como la invasión anómala de la placenta al miometrio, denominado percretismo en su forma más severa. En la actualidad se describe la coexistencia de placenta previa con cicatriz de cesárea, como el principal factor de riesgo. Siendo esta última variable la que explica su incidencia al alza en los últimos años. El pronóstico depende mayoritariamente del grado de adherencia, del diagnóstico prenatal y del adecuado manejo multidisciplinario. Con el objetivo de mostrar una presentación poco frecuente de percretismno placentario se presenta a continuación un caso clínico sin diagnóstico prenatal con requerimiento de cirugía de urgencia y su respectivo outcome. Placental acretism is defined as an abnormal invasion of the placenta to the myometrium, it’s most severe presentation being placenta percreta. The main risk factor for this disease is the coexistence of placenta previa and previous cesarean section. Its incidence has been progressively rising, mainly because of the increase in cesarean sections. Extent of adherence, prenatal vs intra surgery diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management are accountable for the prognosis of placental acretism. A case report with no prenatal diagnosis, which required emergency surgery, and its outcome is presented.

    Introduction: the endometrial carcinoma is the sixth cancer worldwide. Usually it is diagnosed in early stages. The sites of recurrence includes vaginal cuff and lymph nodes, however some metastasis have been described to vagina, peritoneum and lungs, among others. Case report: Elder female with history of an endometrial carcinoma 7 years ago, surgically treated. With histopathology that reported myometrial infiltration in a 95% without invasion to other organs and lymphadenectomy free of neoplasm (FIGO IB), who consult at the emergency room due to abdominal pain and black stool, with further studies that make evident a gastric lesion with biopsy reported as a poorly differentiated carcinoma, vimentin positive, compatible with gastric metastasis secondary to an endometrial carcinoma. Chemoterapy was indicated, documenting total posterior response of the lesion. Discussion: Secondary lessions in stomach are rare. If they are present at the moment of diagnosis half of the patients concomitantly have metastasis in other organs. The endometrial carcinoma hasn’t been described as a common localization that result in this compromise. Conclusion: the case exposed is a clinical challenge, a therapeutic success is shared. Limited evidence is available. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the prognosis, therapeutic options and to define the relevance of screening tests for early detection.
