Abstract

Metastasis to uterine cervix is a complication of breast cancer that is not commonly known. Detection of cervical metastasis before the diagnosis is even rarer. The present report describes a case of a 50 years old woman who had a large cervical growth mimicking a primary of cervix. However, simultaneously she also presented with bilateral breast lumps of one and half years duration. Histopathological examination of the cervical tumour showed patterns characteristics of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast which was already diagnosed as the primary in the breast. She underwent chemotherapy and achieved good response.

Keywords: Breast cancer; Cervix; Lobular carcinoma; Metastasis.
