title: Cutaneous metastatic lymphangitis from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
abstract: A case of cutaneous metastatic lymphangitis which appeared during the unusual evolution of a cervix carcinoma is reported. DNA sequences of No. 18 human papilloma virus (HPV) were isolated in both vaginal and cutaneous specimens. The hypothesis that a particular evolution of invasive cervix carcinomas might be related to the type of associated HPV is suggested.
