Cervical cancer invading the uterine corpus and sigmoid colon: A case report

Abstract

Early-stage cervical cancer rarely extends to the uterine corpus and invades the serosal layer. Here, we present a case of cervical cancer extending to the uterine corpus and then penetrating the myometrium to invade the sigmoid colon. Transabdominal type C2 radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, and sigmoid resection were performed. The patient then underwent chemotherapy as she was unable to tolerate chemoradiotherapy. She recovered well and was followed up for 14 months. Our report reveals that the uterine corpus can be a route of tumor metastasis in cervical cancer.
