Abstract

Metastasis to the skin occurs rarely in gynecologic cancer. Although carcinoma of the cervix is the fifth most common malignancy in Korean women, cutaneous involvement originating from cervical cancer is unusual. Common pattern of occurrence is multiple nodule in abdomen, vulva, lower extremities. We report a case of metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of cervix to vulva. The patient was diagnosed with cervical cancer IIA. The extensive skin lesion on the vulva occurred 3 months after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, radical hysterectomy and concurrent chemoradiation. We have experienced such a case and report the case with brief review of literatures.

Key Words: Cervical cancer, Skin metastasis
