Background:
Adenocarcinoma metastatic to the cervix is unusual. Very few cases of cervical metastases from gastrointestinal tract primary lesions have been reported in the literature, and most of them lack pathological evidence.
Case:
We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with a metastasis to the cervix from a large bowel adenocarcinoma that had been managed by right hemicolectomy 14 months previously. The cervical metastasis was the first sign of recurrence.
Conclusion:
In women with cervical adenocarcinoma and a history of gastrointestinal or breast cancer or melanoma, specific screening should be undertaken to ensure that the cervical disease is not metastatic. The detection of adenocarcinoma in this subset of patients might be an indication of recurrent disease.
