Abstract
Abstract Metastasis from carcinoma of the uterine cervix to the gastrointestinal tract is uncommonand is usually associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old lady treated byconcurrent chemoradiation for stage III B carcinoma of the uterine cervix. One and a half yearslater, she developed a metastatic growth in the transverse colon which was resected. She isdisease free ten months after surgery. The colon is an unusual site of metastasis from carcinomacervix, and colonic metastasis from carcinoma cervix has to be differentiated from a primarysquamous cell carcinoma of the colon. Palliative resection of colonic metastasis may preventfuture intestinal obstruction.
