ABSTRACT
Cervical cancer most commonly spreads hematogenously to the lungs, liver, and bone. However, it rarely metastasizes to the foot. There is only one other case of cervical cancer with metastasis to the foot. In addition, the initial imaging of metastatic disease has difficulty in differentiating from infectious or other inflammatory processes, particularly in a clinical setting highly suspicious of infectious sources. Here, we present a rare case of cervical cancer metastasizing to the calcaneus masquerading as osteomyelitis, highlighting the importance of diagnostic imaging in conjunction with histological confirmation.
