Dermatol Online J. 2013 May 15;19(5):18172.

Abstract

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers and cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Cutaneous metastasis of cervical cancer, however, is exceedingly rare. It is generally seen late in the disease course and portends a poor prognosis. Herein we report a woman with a history of recurrent cervical cancer complicated by an unusual occurrence of metastasis to the vulva.
