Cervical cancer metastatic to the breast: a case report and review of the literature.
Metastasis to the breast from primary cervical cancer is rare. We describe one such patient, who developed breast metastasis 6 months after diagnosis. She was free of pelvic disease at the time of metastases but had evidence of lung involvement. She died of progressive disease 2 months later. Data on 23 patients collected from the literature via Medline are reviewed.
