Abstract (2. Language):
Bowel Metastasis from Carcinoma Cervix is extremely rare. We had 50 years old female patient who presented with
sub acute intestinal obstruction in July 2005. She underwent Laparotomy with clinical diagnosis of ileo-caecal
tuberculosis. Resection of adhered bowel consisting of part of terminal ileum, ascending colon and ileo-caecal
junction was done with ileocolonic anastomosis. Ileo-caecal tuberculosis or any other primary bowel pathology was
not found. Serosa at various levels of ileum, colon showed metastasis of moderately differentiated keratinising
squamous cell carcinoma resembling that of cervix. After deliberate and intensive enquiry, it was found that patient
had undergone Wertheim’s hysterectomy for carcinoma cervix in February 2005 confirming the diagnosis of serosal
metastasis of carcinoma cervix.Considering the rarity of bowel metastasis from carcinoma cervix and retrograde route
of transmission, this case is presented.
