    Abstract

    BACKGROUND:

    Metastasis of nongynecologic tumors to the cervix is a rare event. Isolated breast cancer metastasis to the cervix has only been reported in two other cases.

    CASE:

    A 43-year-old with a history of intraductal breast cancer presented with vaginal bleeding. Colposcopic pathology revealed a lesion similar to her primary breast lesion. She underwent an extensive work up and hysterectomy that revealed no other lesions. Currently, she is alive and well.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    Aggressive treatment of isolated cervical metastasis from breast cancer is warranted in appropriate patients.
