Isolated Cutaneous Metastasis of Cervical Cancer to Upper Back: A Rare Case Report

Abstract Background: Cutaneous metastasis in cervical cancer is a rare presentation. Breast cancer is the most common primary tumor to metastasize to the skin; gynecological carcinomas rarely present with skin metastasis. The most common sites of cutaneous metastasis are abdominal wall and lower extremities. It is associated with poor prognosis. Case Report: A 50-year-old female with a history of cervical carcinoma FIGO stage IIb presented with a complaint of isolated nodule on upper back. X-ray and ultrasound findings were nonconclusive. It was diagnosed as a case of metastasis of cervical carcinoma on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Conclusion: Suspicious cutaneous lesions especially in patients with a history of cancer should be promptly investigated as they can represent the evidence of advanced malignant disease, thereby leading to early therapeutic intervention and decreased morbidity.
