Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562409.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains one of the most common malignancies diagnosed in women as well as a leading cause of cancer related deaths in women worldwide. Cutaneous metastasis associated with cervical malignancy is a remarkably rare phenomenon. We present a patient whose cutaneous signs led to the diagnosis of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the cervix.
