Abstract

Bone metastasis resulting from carcinoma of the cervix is rare, particularly in the isolated distal appendicular bone. A 43‑year‑old female was diagnosed with a right tibial tumor with progressive right knee pain for three months, which was diagnosed as poorly differentiated metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, and further confirmed by biopsy of the proximal tibia. The patient was diagnosed with cervical squamous cell carcinoma with tibial metastasis following further examination, despite a lack of gynecological symptoms. In contrast to the poor outcome commonly observed in patients with bone metastasis, the patient survived and remained disease‑free 41 months after surgical excision of the metastatic tumor and radical hysterectomy followed by chemoradiotherapy. The present case is one of the few documented cases of metastasis to the tibia arising from carcinoma of the uterine cervix and may be the first regarding isolated metastasis at this site.
