“…We reviewed the literature searching the terms ‘spleen metastasis’, ‘splenic metastases’ and ‘cervical cancer’ or ‘cancer of cervix’ and we found only eight cases reported (Table 1). 4–11 Treatment of such recurrences consisted of surgery plus chemotherapy in three cases, surgery alone in one case and chemotherapy alone in four cases.…”

“…However in case of metastatic tumor of the spleen with widespread visceral dissemination of primary cervical cancer, surgery has limited indications because the overall prognosis of this advanced disease is poor, and no data exist on survival. In cases of symptomatic splenomegaly, splenectomy can be performed as palliative intent with acceptable morbidity to improve the quality of life 5–7,11 . Indeed it is difficult to predict the prognostic impact of a solitary splenic metastasis surgically treated, because of the rarity of this lesion and the heterogeneity of literature data that only concern single case reports with short follow‐up periods 4–11 .…”

“…The most common sites of distant relapse include the aortic and mediastinal nodes, lungs and skeleton 3 . To our knowledge only a few cases of splenic recurrences from cervical cancer have been described in the literature 4–11 . In this paper we report a case of splenic cervical cancer metastasis treated with surgery.…”

Cervical cancer isolated splenic recurrence is a rare event.We report a case of splenic cervical cancer metastasis treated with salvage surgery 30 months after supralevator anterior pelvic exenteration. In this patient the plasmatic level of squamous cell carcinoma antigen increased in the absence of any evidence of disease at the instrumental examination 24 months after surgery. Surgery had a high impact on quality of life.

“…Only 22 cases of carcinoma cervix with splenic metastases have been documented (4) in the English‐language literature mostly in the setting of disseminated disease. Of these, six have been case reports of isolated splenic metastasis, three of squamous cell carcinoma (4–6) , two from adenocarcinoma (7,8) , and one from an unspecified histological type (9) .…”

Splenic metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is an unusual event in the natural history of the disease. The authors report one such uncommon occurrence in a 41-year-old female who presented initially with cervical carcinoma (stage IIB) and was treated with radical radiotherapy with concurrent weekly chemotherapy. Following a disease-free interval of less than a year, she developed hepatosplenic metastases despite being locally controlled. The literature relevant to the report is also discussed. This report reaffirms the notion that splenic metastases from cervical carcinoma are rare events but can occur as part of widespread dissemination.

“…Patients with distant metastases are generally referred for palliative chemotherapy 2 . Surgical removal of distant recurrence from cervical cancer has been carried out only in a few highly selected patients 3,6,10 . Intra-abdominal metastases are usually diagnosed either during staging for primary disease 3 or when multiple recurrences are already present.…”

Aims and background. Recurrent cervical cancer has traditionally been associated with a dismal prognosis. Historically, patients who developed distant metastases from cervical cancer were not considered eligible for surgical resection; only palliative treatment options are available, generally consisting of chemo-and/or radiotherapy. Metastases usually appear in the liver, lung or lymph nodes. The abdominal cavity is a quite unusual site of recurrence and the disease usually has multiple foci. For this reason, peritoneal involvement by cervical cancer is considered a contraindication to local treatment. Methods and study design. We report the first case of a 30-year-old woman with isolated intra-abdominal cervical cancer recurrence diagnosed with 18F-FDG PET/CT, successfully surgically treated. Results. Histopathological analysis confirmed the tumor to be an omental relapse of squamous cervical cancer previously treated with anterior pelvic exenteration and platinum based chemotherapy. The patient underwent adjuvant treatment with 3 cycles of topotecan and has remained free of disease during the 4 years of follow-up. Conclusions. In selected cases with isolated recurrences, a surgical resection may provide a long term complete remission in recurrent cervical cancer patients.
