title: Incisional recurrence of squamous cell cervical carcinoma following operative staging.
abstract: A patient with FIGO Stage IIB cervical carcinoma underwent an extraperitoneal lymphadenectomy with exploratory laparotomy and washings for surgical staging. Intraperitoneal tumor was found. Seven months later, the tumor recurred as a subcutaneous nodule in the surgical incision. The implications of this recurrence are discussed.
