Unusual presentation of metastasis in adenocarcinoma cervix

Metastatic carcinoma in an abdominal wall incision from carcinoma cervix is an uncommon and often a preterminal event. It has been reported mostly in advanced cases, often previously treated with radiotherapy. Here a case of cervical cancer with subcutaneous and rectus sheath recurrence 4 months after abdominal hysterectomy in a previously unsuspected case of adenocarcinoma cervix is reported. The patient was treated with excision of the metastatic masses followed by chemoradiation and is doing well at 5 months since presentation.
