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. In this report we discuss a 47 year old female with history of squamous cell carcinoma of cervix treated in 2014. She developed local recurrence in 2019 and received pelvic re radiation. She presented with intestinal obstruction and on evaluation diagnosed to have metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of ascending colon.
