Isolated cervical metastasis of breast cancer: a case report and review of the literature.
BACKGROUND
Metastasis of nongynecologic tumors to the cervix is a rare event. Isolated breast cancer metastasis to the cervix has only been reported in two other cases.


METHODS
A 43-year-old with a history of intraductal breast cancer presented with vaginal bleeding. Colposcopic pathology revealed a lesion similar to her primary breast lesion. She underwent an extensive work up and hysterectomy that revealed no other lesions. Currently, she is alive and well.


CONCLUSIONS
Aggressive treatment of isolated cervical metastasis from breast cancer is warranted in appropriate patients.
