Abstract

Uterine cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the female genital tract. Most recurrent cases of uterine cervical cancer are diagnosed within two years after primary treatment, and late recurrence after a disease-free interval of more than five years is rare. In addition, peritoneal metastases usually present as multifocal discrete nodules in the peritoneal cavity with nodular or diffuse peritoneal thickening. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of late recurrent cervical cancer peritoneal metastasis with an unusual manifestation of a large, solitary necrotic mass in the right subphrenic space on contrast-enhanced CT.

자궁 경부암은 여성 비뇨 생식기계에서 가장 흔한 악성 종양이다. 대부분의 재발성 자궁 경부암은 초기 치료 후 2년 이내에 진단되고 무병 기간이 5년 이상인 후기 재발은 매우 드물다. 또한 복막 전이는 보통 복강 내 뚜렷한 다발성 결절 그리고 결절성 또는 미만성 복막 비후의 형태로 나타난다. 여기서 우리는 조영증강 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 우측 횡격막하 공간에 큰 단일 괴사성 종괴로 보인 후기 재발성 자궁 경부암의 비전형적인 복막 전이라는 매우 드문 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
