TL;DR
A case report describes a rare cervical cancer metastasis to the skull, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and palliative care.
Contribution
This case report presents a rare instance of cervical cancer metastasizing to the skull and emphasizes the need for timely intervention.
Findings
A 46-year-old woman with cervical cancer developed a metastatic lesion in the occipital bone.
Imaging confirmed a lytic lesion without intraparenchymal involvement, and no other metastases were found.
Surgical resection and pathological analysis confirmed metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of cervical origin.
Abstract
Bone metastasis is common, mostly resulting from hematogenous spread and usually carrying significant morbidity. The clinical presentation of bone metastasis depends on the site of metastasis and the involved structures. Radiological studies are usually able to detect the location and extent of the lesions with high accuracy. Management of bone metastasis is often a challenging mission. Here, we highlight the case of a 46-year-old postmenopausal lady who was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated, and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIC1, after she presented with postcoital and irregular vaginal bleeding. The patient received chemoradiotherapy. Two months following treatment completion, she complained of painful occipital swelling. Computerized tomography (CT) of the brain revealed an occipital…
