Abstract:
In patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix treated by radiation, 9-27% may develop distant metastasis. Common sites of distant metastasis are lungs, bones and para-aortic lymph nodes. Metastasis to the colon is very rare. We report a case of a 62 year old lady who was treated by Wertheim hysterectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy for stage III carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Three years later, she developed a metastatic growth in the transverse colon which was resected. It is important to differentiate squamous cell carcinoma metastasizing to the colon from a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the colon as latter has a better prognosis. Palliative resection of the colonic metastasis prevent further dissemination.
