title: Scalp, skull and brain metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix--a rare entity.
abstract: Metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix on the scalp has been reported only six times in the literature; however, we found no reports of metastasis on the scalp associated with skull and brain invasion. We present an exceptionally rare case with good evolution after neurosurgical resection.
