Abstract

Abdominal wall recurrence is not seen commonly with uterine cervix carcinoma. We present here two cases of scar site recurrence and one abdominal wall recurrence, after radical surgery in uterine cervix carcinoma. Review of the literature showed 45 cases of abdominal recurrence after surgery in uterine cervix carcinoma. Two possible mechanisms of recurrence after surgery may be direct implantation of tumor cells at the time of surgery or fibrin platelet deposits in the microcirculation of the surgical wound that may have trapped circulating tumor cells. Recurrences with such atypical manifestations call for more vigilance in follow up of uterine carcinoma cervix.
