Leptomeningeal metastasis in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix: Report of a case and review of the literature

Liying Han et al. Diagn Cytopathol. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

Leptomeningeal spread of advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix is unusual. To our knowledge, very few cases were reported in the English literature. We report a case of a 39-yr-old woman who presented with leptomeningeal metastasis from a stage IIb SCC of uterine cervix. The diagnosis was made by cytomorphological examination of smears obtained from cerebrospinal fluid. The cytomorphological features are demonstrated.
