Metastatic Breast Cancer in Uterine Cervix

Abstract

In Brief Uterine cervix involvement by a distant primary tumor is a rare event. We report the following 2 cases of breast tumor metastasis to the uterine cervix with different presentations: case 1 is an isolated cervix metastasis and case 2 is a disseminated metastatic disease with cervix involvement. In both, clinical examination raised the suspicion of cervical tumor, which was confirmed to be a metastatic adenocarcinoma. The poor outcome and lack of symptoms suggest that although its rareness, all patients with breast cancer should undergo a careful routine gynecologic examination. Although uterine cervix metastasis from breast carcinoma is rare, its association with a poor prognosis emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular gynecological surveillance.
