Umbilical surgical scar and vulval metastasis secondary to advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma: a report of two cases.
BACKGROUND
Association of cutaneous metastasis with cervical carcinoma is a rare finding, with only a few case reports in literature.


METHODS
Herein, we report a case of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, which later presented as widespread skin metastases on the surgical scar as an initial sign of recurrent disease.


CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, incisional cutaneous and vulval metastasis is a rarity with cancer cervix and is considered as an ominous prognostic sign with a short survival after diagnosis.
