A Case of Skin Metastasis from Uterine Cervical Cancer
Abstract
- Skin metastasis from carcinoma of uterine cervix is extremely rare and its incidence is reported as 0.1~1.3%. Common pattern of occurrence is multiple nodules in abdomen, external genitalia, or lower extremeties. It is believed that the pathogenesis of skin metastasis is a result of retrograde spread of the tumor secondary to lymphatic obstruction. Treatment of skin metastasis may consist of surgical excision, local irradiation, or chemotherapy, but the prognosis is very poor and median survival is about 3 months. We have experienced such a case and report the case with brief review of literatures.
