Metastasis in skeletal muscle secondary to squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
Skeletal muscle metastases are rare, but occur most often with lymphomas, as well as being occasionally described secondary to breast, lung, prostatic, colonic, pancreatic and renal cell carcinomas--but not uterine cancers. A case of skeletal muscle metastasis is presented, originating from a primary squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
