Carcinomacekwxwith Cutaneous Metastasis

Area of Science:

• Oncology
• Dermatology
• Pathology

Background:

• Carcinoma of the cervix is a common malignancy in women.
• Cutaneous metastasis from cervical cancer is rare, particularly presenting on the face and neck.
• The case highlights the importance of considering unusual presentations of known malignancies.

Observation:

• A 70-year-old female presented with symptomatic cutaneous lesions on the face and neck.
• Symptoms included pruritus and intermittent edema, which became persistent.
• The patient had no overt symptoms related to the primary cervical malignancy.

Findings:

• Carcinoma cervix stage III was diagnosed during routine examination.
• Histopathological examination of neck lesions revealed poorly differentiated carcinomatous deposits.
• The findings confirmed cutaneous metastasis from the primary cervical carcinoma.

Implications:

• This case underscores the possibility of cutaneous involvement in advanced cervical cancer.
• Early recognition of such metastatic patterns is crucial for timely and appropriate patient management.
• Further research into the mechanisms and frequency of cervical cancer cutaneous metastasis is warranted.
