Abstract
Ascending colon is an unusual site of metastasis from primary carcinoma cervix. Unusual sites of metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cervix include bones, stomach, duodenum, colon, skin. Squamous cell carcinoma is a rare malignancy of gastrointestinal tract (GI). Metastasis of SCC of cervix to GI tract is uncommon and has been reported only in a handful of cases. It may present with intestinal obstruction requiring debulking surgery. Management is palliative and role of chemotherapy or radiation is unclear.

She presented with intestinal obstruction and on evaluation diagnosed to have metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of ascending colon.
