Colonic metastasis from primary squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix

Abstract: Metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix to the gastrointestinal tract is uncommonand is usually associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old lady treated byconcurrent chemoradiation for stage III B carcinoma of the uterine cervix. One and a half yearslater, she developed a metastatic growth in the transverse colon which was resected. She isdisease free ten months after surgery. The colon is an unusual site of metastasis from carcinomacervix, and colonic metastasis from carcinoma … Show more

“…Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract and particularly to the colon is extremely uncommon. A very similar case of carcinoma cervix metastasizing to the colon was reported by Ramakrishnan et al [1]. This is therefore the only the second reported case of metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to the colon in India.…”

“…Squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix metastasizes mostly to the lungs and paraortic nodes, whereas metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract and particularly to the colon is relatively rare [1]. Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma must be differentiated from a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the colon for definitive post operative management and prognostication of the patient.…”
