Abstract:
Diagnosis of recurrent cervical cancer can be very difficult in the heavily irradiated pelvis. Sciatica and lymphedema are well-known symptoms of disease recurrent to the side wall. The isolated symptom of claudication is reported as an early sign of recurrence. Two patients are presented in whom claudication was the only early presenting symptom. This symptom in a patient with a history of a gynecologic malignancy should lead to an evaluation for recurrent cancer as well as the routine vascular studies.
