Cutaneous metastasis in cancer of the uterine cervix: A case report and review of the literature.

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a common neoplasm among Indian women; in fact, it is the commonest malignancy among rural Indian women. Uterine cervical cancer spreads mainly to the regional lymph nodes, with distant metastasis rarely occurring. Major sites of distant metastasis are lung, bone, and liver. Skin metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a very rare event. The reported incidence ranges from 0.1 to 2%. Here we describe a 60-year-old woman with cervical cancer who developed metastatic lesions on the lower abdominal wall and also over the inner aspects of thigh.
