title: A metastasis to the nasal tip from a cervical carcinoma--a case report.
abstract: Metastases to the nasal tip from gynecological malignancies are extremely rare. We present a case of a tumor metastatic to the nasal tip from a carcinoma of the uterine cervix. We administered high-dose focal irradiation to the site of the tumor. The literature on metastases to the nose, maxillary sinuses, and paranasal sinuses from gynecologic malignancies is reviewed.
