Five cases of endometrial carcinoma with cutaneous metastases are reported. Cutaneous metastases of endometrial carcinoma are uncommon. There are no other cases reported in the literature. In 91 autopsy cases only one example (1%) could be found. The appearance of subcutaneous nodules is evidence of widespread dissemination and a harbinger of early demise.
