Metastasis to the nasal tip from a cervical carcinoma.
We report on a patient with a red-violaceous swelling of her nasal tip which turned out to be a primary metastasis of a cervical carcinoma. Only 2 patients with metastatic lesions in the nose from cervical carcinoma have been reported. The clinical features are presented, and the differential diagnosis is discussed.
