“…Carcinoma cervix is the most common malignancy in Indian women, having an incidence of 19-44 per 100,000 women and is the most common cancer cause of death among women in the developing countries. 1,4 Premalignant as well as early malignant cervical cancers are usually asymptomatic and are detected during screening. But, advanced-stage cervical cancer almost always presents with abnormal vaginal bleeding or foul-smelling discharge.…”

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide and metastasis to the spleen is a rare entity, with only few cases being reported. The present case of a 55-year-old patient diagnosed with a splenic lesion 3 years following completion of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for advanced cervical cancer. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy with splenectomy. The histopathological studies confirmed the presence of a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (in a known case of treated cervical cancer). At one-year follow-up after splenectomy, the patient was free of any recurrent disease. Owing to its rarity and scant data available, detailed workup should be done whenever a solitary lesion in the spleen is detected on follow-up since splenectomy is the apt management which is instrumental in preventing further complications and improves the survival rates.

“…There are isolated reports of distant metastases in unusual sites such as orbit, brain, breast, heart, thyroid, kidney, spleen, intestine, muscle and scalp [7,8], the skin of the abdomen and lower limbs are usually affected, possibly because of proximity to the pelvic region, skin involvement being considered infrequent [1,2,8].…”

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and the first in Peru; however, metastasis to the cranial scalp is extremely rare. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman diagnosed with cervical cancer IIIB, who received treatment based on concurrent pelvic radiotherapy with chemotherapy followed by brachytherapy at the primary level with complete response, developing, at 18 months, a metastatic lesion at the scalp level without evidence of recurrence in the cervix. With the rapid growth of the metastatic lesion leading to the destruction of the cranial cap, the meninges can be observed directly, without presenting to the neurological clinic.

“…Bhandari et al [10] found that of 306 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer (3.5% were International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB, 8.5% stage IIA, 9.8% stage IIB, 67% stage IIIB, and 11% stage IVA), 8.17% developed distant metastases. Of these, 12% corresponded to metastases of an unusual location, one in the breast, one in the paraspinal muscle, and one in the duodenum.…”

Metastases of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to atypical locations may occur in approximately 12% of patients diagnosed with distant metastases, with the kidney and paraspinal muscle as one of the rarest sites of spread. A 34-year-old woman with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix stage IIIB, treated with chemotherapy and radiation, presented 21 months after completion of therapy, with two sites of simultaneous metastases (kidney and paraspinal muscle). No other evidence of disease was noted. She underwent right nephrectomy and radiotherapy to the para-spinal mass. She did not accept chemotherapy. The patient then had progression of disease in the right nephrectomy bed and a new left renal lesion. The paraspinal lesion presents a partial response. The patient declined further chemotherapy and died five months after the relapse. Simultaneous metastases of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to the kidney and paraspinal region is a rare entity, and there is currently no standard recommendation for treatment.

Unusual Metastasis from Carcinoma Cervix

Abstract: The cause of involvement of these unusual sites is not clear, but it may be hematological spread, and we want to share these reports such that these sites are seen during follow-up of patients of cancer cervix.
