Abstract
The patients presenting with metastasis to cervix are handful. Breast is one of the common extragenital site that can metastasize to cervix. Early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to right management. We hereby report an advanced case of breast cancer that was found to have an incidental synchronous lesion in cervix on a PET Scan. She showed limited response to systemic treatment. The overall survival was 8.5 months. metastasize to unusual sites. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma metastasizing to cervix is rare and few cases have been reported till now. A thorough gynecological examination is often recommended. Immunohistochemistry can differentiate between a primary and metastatic cervical lesion and should be done wherever feasible.
