Brain metastases in early cancer of the uterine cervix. A case report.
This paper describes a case of cancer of the uterine cervix (clinical stage IB) in which signs of brain metastases developed within 1 week of diagnosis. Common sites of distant metastases in patients with carcinoma of the cervix are the liver and lung parenchyma. However, these organs were free of disease and only the brain, an extremely rare site, was involved.
