Incisional site metastasis in a patient with cervical carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature

Rare Presentation of Isolated Scar Site Recurrence in a Case of Carcinoma Cervix

Scar site recurrence is a rare phenomenon and is even rarer in squamous cell carcinoma. We present a special case of isolated scar site recurrence in a patient with carcinoma cervix detected on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography, 2 years after hysterectomy and radiotherapy.

Abdominal wall metastasis following open nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma in a patient with Lynch syndrome

A 74-year-old man developed the rare complication of an abdominal wall metastasis following open nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). This occurred in the setting of synchronous contralateral ureteric and metachronous colorectal carcinomas. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated loss of the mutS homolog 6 (MSH6) mismatch repair (MMR) protein in the metastatic abdominal wall and colonic lesions, which in conjunction with meeting the Amsterdam II criteria, is strongly suggestive of Lynch syndrome (LS). Surgical resection of the recurrence was performed with clear margins and neither recurrence nor spread during short-term follow-up.
