“…Our patient had stage IIB squamous cell cervical carcinoma. In uterine cervical cancer, skin metastasis has been reported in abdominal wall, vulva, anterior chest wall and lower extremity [4,5]. This is consistent with other carcinomas in that the metastasis to the skin is commonly located near the site of the primary tumor [8].…”

“…Skin metastasis originating from cervical cancer is particularly unusual, even in the terminal stage of disease [3]. The most common site of skin metastasis in carcinoma of cervix is the anterior abdominal wall (especially at the drain site), vulva, lower extremity and anterior chest wall [3][4][5]. We report a case of post-radiation carcinoma of cervix stage IIB who had an umbilical metastasis which is a very rare case of cutaneous metastasis, 4 months after completion of treatment.…”

Introduction Objective cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix is an uncommon occurrence. The outcome of patients with skin metastasis is usually poor as they are often associated with locoregional recurrence. This metastasis impairs the quality of life and shortens survival. Consequently, physicians should be aware of the possible existence of skin metastasis in cervical cancer. Clinical suspicion should lead to a careful additional evaluation whenever a cutaneous nodule presents in the course of the disease. Case report We report a rare case of metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of cervix to the umbilicus. The patient was diagnosed with stage IIB FIGO. Four months after chemoradiation patient presented with a nodule in the umbilical region. Biopsy performed and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed. Patient underwent salvage therapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is a rare reported occurrence of umbilical metastasis in cervical cancer without prior laparotomy or laparoscopy. This metastatic lesion has a grave prognosis and the mean survival is about 3 months like our case.

“…3 Distant metastases can be rarely developed in skin and central nervous system. 4,5 CT and MRI are useful in staging advanced disease and in monitoring patients for recurrence of the disease. Recently, 18 F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) PET is widely utilized and effective for detecting early recurrence of cervical cancer.…”

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant gynecological cancer. The incidence and mortality of cervical cancer has been declining in developed countries, but it is still one of the most common cancers in women worldwide. Prognoses of cervical cancer are based on the stage, size, histologic grade of a primary tumor and metastasis of lymph node. CT, MRI, and 18 F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) PET are widely utilized and effective for detecting early recurrence in cervical cancer. The lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer begins locally and spreads distantly. Metastasis of cervical cancer has been rarely assessed by means of EUS or EUS-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) as a form of subepithelial lesion of stomach. A 62-year-old female was referred to the department of gastroenterology for evaluation of a mass like gastric subepithelial tumor with high uptake of 18 F-FDG in PET-CT. Four years ago, the patient underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy for invasive cervical cancer. The specimen obtained by EUS-FNAB appeared to be pus. Finally, the lesion was diagnosed as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma originated from the previous invasive cervical cancer. The patient completely recovered after systemic chemotherapy for the metastatic lesion.
