Comedo-like skin metastases in cervical carcinoma.

ABSTRACT

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common cancers of the female reproductive system. In advanced stages, it might lead to metastases via hematogenous or lymphatic spread. Patients with hematogenous metastases are less common with a higher risk of death. This article focuses on a case of CC with comedo-like spinocellular skin metastases. These structures, typical for basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, represent an uncommon and extremely rare finding even in advanced CC and are associated with a poor prognosis.
