Abstract
In Brief BACKGROUND Rarely is late recurrence from cervical cancer diagnosed at the episiotomy site. We report a case of a patient diagnosed with squamous cell cervical cancer at the time of delivery. CASE Recurrence at the episiotomy site was noted more than 5 years after initial diagnosis of cervical cancer and was treated with surgery and radiotherapy. The patient has had no evidence of disease 54 months after treatment. CONCLUSION After review of the literature, it appears that surgery combined with radiotherapy is recommended over single modality treatments. Episiotomy site recurrence of cervical cancer is a rare event. Treatment with a combination of surgery and radiation is recommended.
