Isolated cervical metastasis of breast cancer: a case report and review of the literature

Andrew E Green et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2004 Oct.

Abstract

Background: Metastasis of nongynecologic tumors to the cervix is a rare event. Isolated breast cancer metastasis to the cervix has only been reported in two other cases.

Case: A 43-year-old with a history of intraductal breast cancer presented with vaginal bleeding. Colposcopic pathology revealed a lesion similar to her primary breast lesion. She underwent an extensive work up and hysterectomy that revealed no other lesions. Currently, she is alive and well.

Conclusions: Aggressive treatment of isolated cervical metastasis from breast cancer is warranted in appropriate patients.
