Unusual skeletal metastases in carcinoma of the cervix.
In a series of 1347 patients with carcinoma of the cervix, 62 or 4.6% had metastatic spread to the bones. Bone metastasis correlated with more advanced disease, occurring in 39.1% of patients with Stage II disease. The role of isotope bone scanning and of the radiographic skeletal survey in the investigation of carcinoma of the cervix is considered. Eight patients having unusual radiographic appearances of skeletal metastases are discussed.
