title: [Carcinoma of the colon metastatic to the cervix uteri. Review of unusual metastases and report of one case].
abstract: Metastases from colon and rectal carcinoma are by direct extension, lymph node infiltration, haematogenous, perineural, intraluminal or by superficial spread. Diagnosis is based on carcinoembryogenic antigen levels, chest x-rays ultrasound, bone scan, laparoscopy or computerized axial tomography. Target organs are liver, lung, ovaries, brain, bone and muscles; other sites are rather uncommon and seldom reported. No other case of cervix metastases has been reported in the English or Spanish literature in the last 10 years.
