Cutaneous metastasis from carcinoma of the cervix at the drain site

Gynecologic Oncology

Abstract

Metastasis to the skin occurs rarely in gynecologic cancer, especially in cervical carcinoma. Although carcinoma of the cervix is the second to the fourth most common malignancy in women, cutaneous involvement originating from cervical cancer is particularly unusual, even in the terminal stage of the disease. We present a case of cervical cancer recurrence with skin metastasis. The extensive skin lesion on the abdominal wall occurred 4 years after radical surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. This was a biopsy-proven metastasis from the patient's primary cervical carcinoma. As far we know this is the second case (after Copas et al., Gynecol Oncol 1995;56:102-4) of skin and subcutaneous tissues metastasis from cervical carcinoma at the drain site. Palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy have a useful role in controlling symptoms.
