Carcinoma of the uterine cervix metastatic to behind the zygomatic arch: A case report

Purpose: We propose to present a novel case of a genital malignancy metastatic to the head and neck. Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the third most frequent malignancy of the female genital tract. Early detection and improved radiation and surgical techniques have resulted in better control of the pelvic tumor and a greater incidence of distant metastasis. Metastases to the soft tissue of the head and neck region have not been reported.
