Aggressive skeletal muscle metastasis from cervical cancer invading into the spinal canal: A case report

“…They maintain that, for a solitary distant skeletal muscle recurrence, aggressive therapies, which include surgical resection, with/without concurrent radiation, and with/without concurrent chemotherapy, can be effectively applied . Saadi et al and Ferrandina et al also reported on patients with isolated skeletal muscle recurrences treated with surgical resection with radiotherapy, with/without concurrent chemotherapy . These patients were reported to have reached disease‐free status, which has been maintained for 30 months and two months, respectively.…”

Recurrence in skeletal muscle from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix: a case report and review of the literature

“…Given the very rare occurrence of skeletal muscle metastasis, there are no specific guidelines on the therapeutic options, which include radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery according to the clinical setting: indeed, the real benefit of these approaches remains questionable given the very poor prognosis of these patients. As shown in Table 1 , in case of a solitary and surgically resectable skeletal muscle metastasis, metastasectomy has been performed, followed by radiotherapy [ 9 ]. In our case the choice of a multimodal approach was sustained by i)the young age of the patient and her good performance status; i) the documentation of a single and surgically amenable recurrence; ii) the general consideration of skeletal muscle metastasis as a marker of systemic disease, which would require chemotherapy: in particular the platinum-taxane combination was chosen on the basis of the high response rate documented with this regimen with respect to cisplatin alone [ 12 ]; the choice of using carboplatin instead of cisplatin was motivated by the documentation of a better patient convenience and tolerance together with the encouraging results obtained with carboplatin/paclitaxel regimen in advanced/recurrent pre-irradiated cervical cancer patients [ 13 ].…”

“…To our knowledge, five cases of skeletal muscle metastasis and two cases of skeletal muscle recurrence after 24 and 60 months fro initial diagnosis of cervical cancer have been documented until now [ 2 - 9 ].…”

A rare case of extensive skeletal muscle metastases in adenocarcinoma cervix identified by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan

“…[ 3 4 ] To our knowledge, from the existing literature search, only 11 cases of skeletal muscle metastases have been documented, of which ten have been from squamous cell carcinoma subtype of cervical cancer and one from the small cell carcinoma subtype. [ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ]…”
