Isolated ureteric metastasis from a primary cervical malignancy

摘要

Cervical cancer globally accounts for more than 250,000 deaths per year. Metastasis occurs through local extension and lymphatic dissemination. Ureteric metastasis is extremely rare and there are 10 cases reported in the English literature. We present an interesting case of ureteric metastasis arising from a primary cervical malignancy 5 years after initial treatment which highlights the role of careful history taking and examination in patients with previous malignancy.
