 en Case Report - Carcinoma of uterine cervix with isolated metastasis to fibula and its unusual behavior: Report of a case and review of literature
Pasricha Rajesh, Tiwari Anu, Aggarwal Tanu, Lal Punita

Abstract

Bone metastasis from carcinoma cervix is uncommon, especially in the distal appendicular skeleton. A 36 year old lady presented with carcinoma of uterine cervix, FIGO, stage IIb. She was treated with radical radiotherapy. Nine months later, she developed an isolated lytic lesion in right fibula, which turned out to be a metastatic lesion. The patient is doing well, 3 years after the surgical excision of metastasis. This is one of the few documented cases of metastasis to fibula, arising from carcinoma of uterine cervix and probably the first with isolated metastasis of this site. Unlike the dismal outcome commonly seen in patients with bone secondaries, she continues to be disease free and alive at 39 months of follow up, after the development of skeletal metastasis.

Keywords
Cervical cancer, bone metastasis, fibula.
