Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous lymphangitis carcinomatosis is an extremely rare form of cervical cancer metastasis.
  • Skin relapse typically presents as nodules, making diffuse eruptions uncommon.

Observation:

  • A case of cervical carcinoma stage IIB presented with cutaneous lymphangitis carcinomatosis mimicking contact dermatitis.
  • The patient received palliative chemotherapy with paclitaxel, achieving a complete clinical response.

Findings:

  • This case highlights an unusual presentation of cervical cancer relapse.
  • The patient's response to paclitaxel suggests chemotherapy efficacy in this rare condition.

Implications:

  • A diffuse, pruritic skin eruption in cervical cancer patients warrants consideration of cutaneous lymphangitis carcinomatosis.
