A 51‐year‐old woman underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for complex hyperplasia; however, final postoperative pathology revealed a deeply invasive high‐grade adenocarcinoma. The patient was, therefore, unstaged. Forty‐five days later, she underwent robot‐assisted radical parametrectomy, upper vaginectomy, and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy with pelvic and para‐aortic lymph node dissection.
