Scar Metastasis: A Rare Case
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Skin metastasis from uterine cervical carcinoma is extremely rare. We present a case of a 50 year old woman presenting with thickening and pain in stitch line 14 months after Wertheim’s Hysterectomy. FNAC from the site revealed Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Wide excision of the scar with placement of a mesh was done. There was no extension into the peritoneal cavity nor any adhesions. Histopathology confirmed the metastasis and showed the cut margins to be free. Available literature shows this to be a very rare complication. Keywords: Scar metastasis, Wertheim’s hysterectomy, Squamous Cell Carcinoma
