Abstract

We report a case of emphysematous endometritis in a 65-year-old patient who has stage III, high-grade, poorly differentiated endometrial cancer; she was on chemotherapy. The patient developed pyogenic emphysematous endometritis complicated by hypovolemic shock and sepsis. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment with vasopressors and antibiotics. The shock was successfully managed and her hospital course was otherwise unremarkable.
