Abstract

Metastasis to the skin from cervical carcinoma is relatively uncommon. Herein we present a 41-year-old woman with a history of cervical carcinoma with severe facial erythematous swelling and telangiectasia. She was initially treated for cellulitis without improvement. A skin biopsy specimen revealed widespread intravascular tumor emboli in the dermis and subcutis, resembling the so-called inflammatory carcinoma of the breast. As this is an unusual clinical presentation for the metastasis of cervical carcinoma, this case is reported.
