Abstract

A 49-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of genital and anal bleeding. The patient was diagnosed as cervical carcinoma (FIGO stage IVa) and treated with radiation therapy. The tumor in the primary site disappeared, but multiple subcutaneous metastases were seen three weeks after the end of the therapy. A sample of a subcutaneous tumor revealed squamous cell carcinoma with high mitotic ratio. Only 31 cases of subcutaneous metastasis from the cervical carcinoma have been reported in the literature. This report describes an additional case of subcutaneous metastasis from cervical cancer.
