Abstract
Skin metastasis is an infrequent manifestation in oncology, with reported incidence of about 1.3% in cervical cancer. When present, it usually signals advanced disease with very limited, mostly palliative treatment options. Here we present a patient who was diagnosed with cervical cancer at an early stage and later recurred twice with skin lesions of different morphologies.
Biopsy should be considered for skin lesions in patients with cervical cancer
Skin metastasis may be the presenting symptom in cervical cancer recurrence
No specific morphology is pathognomonic of cutaneous spread of cervical cancer
