Abstract

Metastatic neoplasm of the small intestine is uncommonly encountered. We herein reported a case of 66-year-old female patient with a history of cervical carcinoma presented as a spell of digestive symptoms. Imaging examination revealed disseminated disease involving her proximal jejunum. Endoscopic biopsy was performed showing metastatic squamous cell carcinoma with the same characteristics of cervical lesion. Although the clinical presentation of enteral metastases is extremely rare, awareness of such metastatic pattern of cervical cancer is necessary for diagnostic practices and therapeutic decisions.
