Abstract
Reich O, Tamussino K. Gross omental metastasis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the uterine cervix: A case report. Int J Gynecol Cancer 1998; 8: 349–351. A 54-year-old female with invasive mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the uterine cervix had an uncommon type of spread. On clinical examination the patient had FIGO stage IIB disease; MRI showed a tumor volume of 15 ml and extension to right parametrium. Radical hysterectomy was planned but laparotomy revealed gross extrapelvic metastases in the greater omentum. The unexpected spread of this tumor may suggest that MECs of the cervix are more aggressive than their squamous cell counterparts.
