“…This is therefore the only the second reported case of metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to the colon in India. Metastasis to the colon can occur either by transperitoneal, hematogenous, lymphatic or transluminal [7]. However in our case the pericolic lymph nodes were all free of the tumour suggesting transperitoneal or hematogenous spread.…”

Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively uncommon. It is associated with a poor prognosis and behaves more aggressively. We report a case of metastatic growth in the ascending flexure of the colon that had eroded into the anterior abdominal wall muscles and resulted in a large parietal abscess. She had undergone radical hysterectomy followed by radiation therapy for stage II carcinoma of the uterine cervix 14 months back. Ultrasound guided drainage of the abscess was done as an emergency procedure to control the sepsis. After 3 days an extended Right Hemicolectomy with stapled ileo colic anastomosis was done with resection of a part of abdominal wall adherent to the growth with a grossly normal margin. Histopathological examination confirmed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. She is disease free 2 months after surgery. Surgical management of the metastatic tumour was palliative but necessary to prevent intestinal obstruction in future.

“…Metastasis to the colon from any malignancy can occur by one of four methodstransperitoneal, hematogenous, retrograde lymphatic or transluminal [4]. In our case, since the pericolic nodes also showed metastasis and there were no other sites of metastasis, the mode of spread is most likely to be through the lymphatic system.…”

Metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix to the gastrointestinal tract is uncommonand is usually associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old lady treated byconcurrent chemoradiation for stage III B carcinoma of the uterine cervix. One and a half yearslater, she developed a metastatic growth in the transverse colon which was resected. She isdisease free ten months after surgery. The colon is an unusual site of metastasis from carcinomacervix, and colonic metastasis from carcinoma cervix has to be differentiated from a primarysquamous cell carcinoma of the colon. Palliative resection of colonic metastasis may preventfuture intestinal obstruction.

“…Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is extremely uncommon, occurring in less than four per cent of cases. [4][5][6] Metastasis to the colon, from any malignancy, can either be transperitoneal, hematogenous, retrograde lymphatic, or by transluminal spread. 4 Since the tumour was infiltrating the serosa, and sparing the mucosa, and because there were omental metastasis, in this case, the mode of metastatic spread must have been transperitoneal.…”

Earlier reports have shown that in a metastatic deposit macroscopically, the tumour may either present as a mesenteric mass invading the bowel, or as an intramural mass ulcerating into the bowel.…”

Intestinal obstruction is a rare complication after pelvic radiotherapy for carcinoma cervix. Metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix to the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. We report a case of a 36-year-old woman who was treated by concurrent chemo-radiation for stage II B carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Five years later, she presented with acute intestinal obstruction. A laparotomy revealed a metastatic growth in the transverse colon, which was resected. The colon is an unusual site for metastasis from carcinoma cervix, and it has to be differentiated from a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the colon. Resection of the metastatic lesion may help palliate acute intestinal obstruction, and possibly prevent a perforation, which can rapidly become fatal.
